Blending and Carbonation System (BCS)

Continuous Blending and CarbonationBCS, or Blending and Carbonation System, continuously and precisely controls the wort, alcohol, and CO₂ content of beer through the precise dosing of degassed water and CO₂. This system stands out for its highly accurate and reliable analysis technology and precise control algorithms. The corosys Gas Injector GDI ensures that the dosed CO₂ is finely dispersed into tiny bubbles during carbonation, ensuring reliable dissolution.

How does the BCS work?The flow rates of beer and water are measured by inductive flow meters at the system‘s inlet. Two parallel control valves of different sizes adjust the flow of degassed water proportionally to the beer flow rate. Additional components such as flavor or syrup can be dosed immediately after. The centrifugal pump then transports the beer or beer-based beverage through the dissolution section to the pressure tank, ensuring thorough mixing. The corosys developed Gas Injector GDI introduces CO₂ to the beer, breaking it into tiny bubbles and ensuring rapid and complete dissolution within the carbonation hold section. This can be monitored through a sight glass at the end of the dissolution section. The beer monitor positioned at the system‘s outlet continuously measures in-line wort, alcohol, and CO₂. A control algorithm continuously adjusts the blending and carbonation ratio.

Why should you choose the BCS?

High precision: Achieve perfect wort, alcohol, and CO₂ content through the finely tuned interplay of control valves, precise inline measurement technology, and our control algorithms.
Wide Range: Specially designed control valves and our Dual-Dose control algorithm enable exceptionally large dosing ranges.
Gas Injector: Our highly efficient CO₂ injector, GDI, minimizes pressure loss and guarantees complete CO₂ dissolution without static mixers.
