Brooks Instrument Case study: Refining Wine Production with Digital Mass Flow Controllers

The Application

In the world of winemaking, precision is paramount. From fermentation to bottling, every step demands careful attention to detail to ensure consistent quality. Recently, a wine producer embraced digital mass flow controllers from Brooks Instrument to refine their sparging process, revolutionizing their production methods.

Sparging, the process of bubbling gas through a liquid to remove impurities or oxygenate, is crucial in winemaking. Traditionally, this process relied on manual adjustments, leaving room for inconsistencies. However, by integrating digital mass flow controllers, this wine producer gained precise control over gas flow rates, optimizing conditions for their wines.
