Alcoff® dealcoholisation unit
A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO REDUCE THE ALCOHOL STRENGTH OF YOUR WINES AND PRODUCE A USEABLE ALCOHOL
Our Alcoff® unit combines two devices that work continuously: An osmosis unit and a customs-approved distillation column.
OUR ALCOFF® UNIT COMBINES TWO DEVICES THAT WORK CONTINUOUSLY:
- An osmosis unit producing a permeate that consists solely of water and alcohol, and is free of the wine’s noble and aromatic molecules.
- A customs-approved distillation column which produces an 85%-90% ABV alcohol from the permeate. This dealcoholised permeate is then reincorporated into the wine without causing a rise in temperature.
AN OSMOSIS UNIT FITTED WITH SELECTIVE MEMBRANES APPROVED FOR WINERY AND FOOD-INDUSTRY USE, DELIVERING EFFICIENT FLOW WHILE PRESERVING THE WINE’S ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES.
A DISTILLATION COLUMN WHICH IS EFFICIENT DESPITE BEING ONLY 2.80 M HIGH.
NEGLIGIBLE WINE WARMING THANKS TO OUR THERMAL ENGINEERING.
PRODUCES A QUALITY ALCOHOL USEABLE BY THE INDUSTRY (85-90% ABV), UNLIKE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH CREATE AN ALCOHOLIC EFFLUENT THAT MUST BE RETREATED.
THE ALCOFF® OSMOSIS UNIT CAN ALSO BE USED TO:
- Concentrate musts
- Concentrate wines
- Treat ethylphenols
- Treat volatile acidity

DEALCOHOLISATION
Besides reducing alcohol concentration, Alcoff® lets you find the best gustatory balance for your wine. This service consists of two simultaneous stages: membrane-based treatment by reverse osmosis, and distillation of the permeate.
