FAQ
| Q: | Is the CO2 produced food-grade quality? |
| A: | Yes, the plants sold always provide food-grade CO2 (liquid phase) unless customers have requested something else (CO2 to be used for other applications). The liquid CO2 fullfils general quality standards for food/beverage/ingredient purpose in the food and beverage industry throughout the world. |
| Q: | What is required for getting a proposal for a plant? |
| A: | For CBU's and EBU's, we only require a few data such as:
For CBU's, EBU's and RBU's, please also refer to our inquiry forms. |
| Q: | What are the benefits of the modular plant design? |
| A: | The modular designed plant is supplied as complete skids pre-mounted and tested in our workshop to secure high quality, flexible, fast and easy installation and optimal maintenance facilities. |
| Q: | How is the plant operated? |
| A: | The plant is operated via a user-friendly and logic designed interface based on a 12” 256 colour LCD display operator panel, which combined with Windows CE operating system offers an innovative and highly detailed control and monitoring of the plant process. |
| Q: | In our company, we are working dedicatedly to decrease costs and save the environment. Do you have any energy-saving options that we could benefit from? |
| A: | Union Engineering's ReVap technology combines the processes of evaporating CO2 and refrigerating glycol to cut energy costs by an average of over 40%. ReCon recovers energy using CO2 evaporation as refrigeration source for the CO2 condensation. |
| Q: | In our company we focus on ”cost of ownership" (i.e. on all costs connected with the plant – purchase price as well as spare parts and consumables). What does Union Engineering do to meet our demand? |
| A: | Union Engineering has a very flexible approach to our customers, adapting to their individual needs, and we strive to convert our accumulated knowledge into a value-creating product for the specific customer. Hence it is important to focus on the price-quality ratio. This is obtained through standardization of basic parts of the CO2 plant, giving a good quality modular-built plant at a competitive price – while still maintaining a high degree of flexibility. |
| Q: | Does Union Engineering execute turnkey installations? |
| A: | On request Union Engineering can offer turnkey installations. In general we offer three solutions:
The customer is always responsible for civil works (foundations, buildings, etc.). Union Engineering will always require a site inspection in order to quote for turnkey projects. |
| Q: | What kind of fuels can be used for CO2 generating plants? |
| A: | We manufactures self-generating CO2 plants based on combustion of; natural gas, light oil, heavy fuel oil, LNG, LPG and kerosene. Plants with shift between fuels are available on request. |
| Q: | What space is required for installation of a CO2 generating plant? |
| A: | Please refer to our standard layout for 145, 285, 500 and 1,000 kg/h plant, available on request. |
| Q: | What source is usable in a CO2 extraction plant? |
| A: | For standard plants below 1,500 kg/h, the typical source will be existing steam boilers operating continuously and providing a flue gas with a maximum O2 content of 4%. |
| Q: | Can a generating (combustion based) and an extraction based plant be combined? |
| A: | Yes, based on the operation philosophy of the external steam boilers it might be feasible to have a combined plant, where app. 60% of the capacity is based on conventional combustion and the 40% is based on flue gas import from external steam boiler(s). |
