Oxidation is disastrous for beer
Oxidation is disastrous for beer “From the moment we have to work oxygen-free in our brewing process, we use nitrogen. After all, oxidation is disastrous for the taste and smell of beer,” said Johan head brewer at THE Hague craft brewery Kompaan. “We use self-generated nitrogen to expel oxygen, preventing the process of oxidation. For […]
Fighting unwanted bacteria
Biological control of unwanted bacteria prevents major damage Biological control unwanted bacteria prevents major damage. Several great projects are currently underway for Presscon Solutions. For example, we use nitrogen to control microorganisms. “Our generators produce nitrogen to displace oxygen. And are thus a solution for industries adversely affected by the effects of the oxygen molecule. […]

Nitrogen generators ready for installation Presscon specializes in the design, construction and maintenance of nitrogen expansion systems, among others. The system we developed and built in-house protects plants and products from corrosion, oxidation, fire and explosion hazards. Our nitrogen expansion system monitors and controls the nitrogen pressure prevailing in the expansion chamber of a central […]
Cape Brewers inaugurates nitrogen generator for their compound
Tjomme Zijlstra: “I’m curious to see what it saves and in terms of taste.” Recently, craft beer brewery Kaapse Brouwers, commissioned the nitrogen generator specially assembled for them. The Presscon N-Gen nitrogen generator prevents oxidation of beer during the brewing process and replaces the often expensive CO2. Recently, craft beer brewery Kaapse Brouwers, commissioned the […]
Passion for engineering leads to development of new water degasser
Peter Valentin (Presscon) is developing a new concept water degasser in his own factory. Presscons Peter Valentin developed a new concept water degasser in its own factory. They are currently building two new final models for a large-scale Dutch vegetable farm. At this nursery they are struggling with greatly increased oxygen levels in the heating […]
Principle operation High Performance Adsorption System
High Performance Adsorption System Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is the process that causes compressed air to be converted to a mixture of pure nitrogen. The purity of nitrogen can be set according to the desired application. The compressed air needed for this can be supplied by a dedicated compressor or by an in-house compressor. Text […]
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility In today’s economic market, more and more companies are becoming aware of the need and benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR). For Presscon, corporate social responsibility and sustainability are more than a trend or a “buzzword”; they are integral parts of our business. We are constantly conscious of our CSR policy and […]
Operating principles of oxygen reduction fire prevention systems
Operating principles The benefits of preventing fire, rather than extinguishing it, make oxygen reduction systems well suited for applications where fire can cause irreplaceable damage and where traditional fire suppression systems are unacceptable or unsuitable. Hypoxic air technology for fire prevention, also known as an oxygen reduction system (Presscon FX Prevent systems, LOX Low Oxygen […]
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan). Compressed air is widely used for several production processes in the food industry. While using compressed air to power equipment has clear safety and cost advantages, it also means that the compressed air can come into contact with the finished product, potentially making it a source of […]
