ReVap cuts CO2 production costs by 30% - Union

Save 26%* of a brewery’s total annual CO₂ production costs - with an ROI below 12 month

ReVap is a technology designed to minimise both CO₂ evaporation and glycol refrigeration expenses in the process.

Evaporating CO₂ for consumption has always been an unavoidable expense in breweries (and many other CO2 consuming industries), and the same applies to refrigerating glycol. However, by combining these two discrete processes, ReVap reduces the energy costs associated with both.

The innovative heat exchange system, ReVap, uses the cooling capacity of stored liquid CO₂ to chill glycol. The transfer of heat between glycol and liquid CO₂ subsequently raises the temperature of CO₂ to its evaporation point. The CO₂ is now available for the consumer as gas.

Since the simple concept relies solely on the efficient reuse of existing resources, the ReVap solution offers a saving equivalent to about 26%* of a brewery’s total annual CO₂ production costs. A unit typically pays for itself within 12 months.

As a self-contained system, ReVap is installed quickly (within 48 hours) without the need to halt production and its straightforward design makes it virtually maintenance free.

If you are looking to reduce energy bills and increase your positive impact on the environment, ReVap can help.
