Nitrogen Generation for Crimson Badger Brewing

In the midst of the CO2 shortage, this craft brewery needed full control of its gas supply. Having evaluated the air demand, Industrial Air Systems provided a customised package to maximise efficiency and reduce operational costs. 

Crimson Badger Brewing is a craft brewery based in Queenstown. The team started with their signature alcoholic ginger beer, soon followed by mulled wine, cider, beer, and more. 

With over 5,000 Litres packaged each day, this hardworking team takes pride in high-quality products. Paired with their sustainable values, this led them to seek on-site nitrogen generation that could improve every step in the brewing process. 

In the past, Crimson Badger Brewing had been renting high-pressure cylinders of nitrogen and CO2 gas from another city. With disruptive supply lines and varying pricing, they knew an on-site nitrogen generator would reduce overheads significantly. They had been considering purchasing one for a while so, when the CO2 gas shortage began, they reached out to Industrial Air Systems for a custom package to meet all their compressed air and nitrogen requirements.

Now equipped with an on-site nitrogen generator, the team at Crimson Badger Brewing have complete control of their gas supply and costs. Compared to renting high pressure cylinders, the costs per cubic metre are drastically reduced, providing peace of mind regardless of market fluctuations or delivery delays.

The new variable-speed compressor also enhances efficiency, matching demand and reducing power consumption during downtime.
