Pentair Haffmans’ complete range of quality control technology measures carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂) in the laboratory, packaging, at-line and in-line.

Systems

Food processing waste streams such as condensate of whey and waste water is often treated in anaerobic digesters that generate biogas as part of the process of processing the waste. Pentair biogas recovery systems utilize membrane and cryogenic technology to recover 100% CH4 with minimal CO2 emission. This biogas can be converted to bio-methane of natural gas grid quality and CO2 of food/beverage quality creating a dual value stream. The high caloric bio-methane can be fed into the national gas grid, used as vehicle fuel or consumed on site. The purified CO2 is ready for food grade applications and can be used on-site or sold to a third party.
