Ontario District

The presentation by Jaime Jurado at the District Ontario Technical Conference 2023 focuses on the availability and optimization of CO2 recovery in brewing processes. It outlines the amount of CO2 generated during fermentation, the losses incurred, and the potential for recovery. Key topics include methods for purifying CO2, strategies to minimize dissolved oxygen (DO) during CO2 injection, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for managing CO2 in brewing tanks. The presentation also discusses the importance of maintaining top pressure in tanks and the calculations for CO2 consumption in various brewing operations, emphasizing the need for efficient CO2 recovery to reduce waste and improve sustainability in brewing practices.%0aThe text discusses the calculations related to the mass of CO2 involved in brewery operations, particularly focusing on the annual mass of beer produced and the CO2 displacement during the brewing process. It details the mass of CO2 consumed during purging and de-pressuring of tanks, totaling 0.65 kg/hL. Additionally, it mentions CO2 recovery systems implemented in breweries, highlighting various companies and their contributions to CO2 harvesting from fermentation processes. The text concludes with a note of gratitude to the author's employer.
