Low Maintenance Nitrogen Generator Helps Winery Protect Flavor

From Parker Hannifin Filtration and Separation Div. / Balston Products
 

 
The use of a nitrogen generator that requires virtually no maintenance is helping Arkansas' largest winery protect the flavor of its diverse product line. The winery purges the air from every bottle of wine and fills it with nitrogen, which protects the wine from oxygen that would otherwise slowly turn the wine to vinegar. In the past, the winery had to bear the high cost of purchasing compressed nitrogen in cylinders. More recently, it took advantage of the availability of relatively inexpensive nitrogen generators that separate the nitrogen from the other constituents in air as needed in the bottling process. "The key factor in selecting a nitrogen generator was that we didn't want to take on an expensive and complicated maintenance task," said Andrew Post, Winemaker at the Post Familie winery. "After looking for a while, I found a machine that operates without any maintenance or attention at all for a period of five years.
