Nitrogen generators for use in winemaking and vinification

Winemaking and Vinification are delicate processes that require careful handling to achieve the desired quality and taste of the wine. Nitrogen is a versatile gas that plays a critical role in preserving the wine’s aroma and flavor during production. NOVAIR in-house modular nitrogen generators are commonly used in wineries to provide a constant supply of high purity nitrogen gas. Here are some ways nitrogen is used in Winemaking and Vinification:

• Sparging: Nitrogen is used to displace oxygen from tanks, barrels, and other winemaking equipment. By removing oxygen, winemakers can prevent oxidation and preserve the wine’s aroma and flavor.
• Blanketing: Winemakers use nitrogen to create a protective blanket of gas over the wine. This helps prevent oxidation and bacterial growth, which can ruin the wine’s taste and aroma.
• Flushing: Nitrogen is used to flush out equipment and pipelines before and after use to remove any air or moisture that may cause oxidation or spoilage.

By using NOVAIR in-house modular nitrogen generators, winemakers can ensure a constant supply of high-purity nitrogen gas throughout the winemaking process. This reduces the risk of contamination and spoilage, resulting in a more consistent and higher-quality wine. With the right application of nitrogen gas, winemakers can produce a wide range of wines that cater to different consumer preferences.
