Sustainability in Beverage Production: How ClearAlc De-Alcoholization Technology Reduces Energy and Waste

Sustainability is no longer optional —it is a necessity in the modern beverage industry. As consumers and businesses increasingly align with eco-conscious trends, the non-alcoholic beverage market continues to expand, while committed to reducing environmental impact. BevZero, a leader in beverage innovation, has prioritized sustainability through its continued efforts in the advancement of the de-alcoholization technologies it uses and offers to its customers for sale.  Tomsa Destil, the manufacturer of the ClearAlc de-alcoholization technology exclusively distributed by BevZero, significantly lowers energy usage and waste in beverage production.

Sustainability Challenges in Traditional Beverage Production

Traditional beverage production, particularly in alcohol removal, presents several sustainability challenges:

  • High energy consumption due to heat-intensive processes.
  • Excessive water use, contributing to resource depletion.
  • Production waste, including loss of volume and inefficient processing.
  • Inefficient alcohol removal methods that require multiple passes, increasing energy use and operational costs.

How BevZero’s De-Alcoholization Technology Supports Sustainability

ClearAlc employs a low-energy, low-temperature process that minimizes environmental impact while maintaining product integrity. Key sustainability benefits include:

  • Fully Automated Single Pass Technology
    • Reduces alcohol down to 0.05% ABV in a single pass.
    • Eliminates the need for additional passes, decreasing energy, cost, and time.
  • Energy Efficiency
    • Incorporates optimal heat exchanger and advanced heat pump designs to reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
    • Uses an increased vacuum to lower the boiling point, enabling evaporation at significantly lower temperatures, thus conserving energy compared to traditional high-heat methods.
  • Water Conservation
    • Minimal water consumption for vacuum pump purge, reducing overall water usage.
  • Sustainable and Food-Grade Materials
    • Durable, easy-to-clean materials that minimize environmental impact while ensuring long-term efficiency.

Waste Reduction in De-Alcoholization

BevZero’s technology is designed to optimize resource use and minimize waste at every stage of dealcoholization:

  • Aroma Recovery
    • ClearAlc captures and reintroduces natural aromas during the single-pass dealcoholization process, preserving product quality and eliminating the need for additional processing.
  • Innovative By-Product Utilization
    • The system allows for obtaining the selective extraction of heads, hearts, and tails for secondary uses in various industries.
  • Maximizing Beverage Yield
    • Rigorous control processes ensure minimal losses while maintaining consistency and high standards in production across all facilities.

Conclusion

BevZero is leading the way in sustainable beverage production with its ClearAlc dealcoholization technology, offering an innovative solution that significantly reduces energy consumption, minimizes water use, and limits waste while maintaining beverage integrity.
