Slide 5: What is NOLO beer?
What is NOLO beer? • De-alcoholized beer product with 2 levels: NO (< 0.05 ABV, 0.0 beer) LO (< 0.5 % ABV beer) • Produced with natural brewing ingredients such as barley, malt, wheat, yeast, hops… • As normal beer, NOLO beer needs final treatment to get a final product (dosing/carbonization/increas
Slide 6: NoLo beer - main technologies
NoLo BEER - MAIN TECHNOLOGIES Group A- Biological- Special yeast and fermentation stopped, for LO beers <0.5 % ABV or NO beers (0.0) beer at starting/small production.

Slide 9: Why stripping is best
Why stripping is best − A gentle, single-pass process with less than a minute of residence time • Effectively removes ethanol from a liquid stream using a counter-current flow gas stream • Always occurs in equilibrium at 80–110 mbar between 41–45°C under vacuum conditions • Column provides huge cont

Slide 11: Pure stripping for NOLO beer production
Pure stripping for NOLO beer production Main benefits in pure stripping NOLO production: 1. From 5 to 100 hl/h in standard capacities, ABV reduction from 13% to <0.05% 2. Efficient dealcoholization for all beers, lager/ale/wheat/IPAs/non-filtrated beers 3. Optimized for great no-burn beer taste, Dea
Slide 12: Dealcoholization
Dealcoholization − Three applications in one unit • Production of non-alcoholic (NAB<0.05% ABV) and low-alcoholic (LAB< 0.5% ABV) beers • Partial removal of alcohol from full- strength, high-gravity beer • Separation of neutral, decolourized food-grade alcohol for use in other applications 02/05/202
