Home > CO2 Recovery System

Your Own CO2 Supply, Made Accessible
(Up to 50 kg per hour!)

Small Footprint.
Reasonable Investment.
Big Operational Savings.

CO2 recovery isn't just for the largest guys any more. Vitalis is bringing affordable, high-performance carbon capture systems to smaller breweries and other operations. We'll help you keep the dream alive.

Highlights

Starting at $175K US

  • Capture, clean, and store CO2 from a process such as fermentation and make it available to an existing CO2 network.

  • Offset CO2 spend up to 100% (saving potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in CO2 expenses).

  • Enjoy flexible installation and system integration options.

Performance

  • Distill up to 50 kg per hour of liquid CO2 (~800 kg/day or ~292,000 kg/year).

  • CO2 cleaned to a purity of 99.99+% with low dissolved oxygen.

Flexibility

  • Pair to a Vitalis Coolshift™ R744 chiller or hook up to an existing glycol chiller.

  • Integrate with a facility’s existing CO2 network.

  • Install in a mechanical room or outdoors with an optional enclosure.

  • Hook up directly to fermentation tanks with bladder to improve the process efficiency.

How a Vitalis Freecovery™ System Works

(Example shown is for a brewery application.)

  1. The system is connected to the source of CO2 to be recovered, which can be at atmospheric pressure or up to 500 psi. Pressures of 0 to 15 psi are typical.

  2. The CO2 stream is filtered. Depending on the application, the stream is first cooled in a heat exchanger.

  3. The CO2 stream is compressed. Temperature is maintained via an integrated R744 system.

  4. The compressed CO2 is cooled to change it from vapor to liquid in a heat exchanger.

  5. The liquid CO2 is pumped to storage (at pressures around 300 psi) or, optionally, to a process requiring liquid CO2.

  6. Optionally, CO2 vapor stream (100 psi) can be used for processes that don’t require liquefied CO2, such as canning, bottling, etc.

* A stand-alone Freecovery system uses a small amount of cooling capacity from an existing chiller if not paired to a Vitalis Coolshift™ heat pump.
