Lesson 8 - Gases
In this lesson we take a closer look at gases, including compressed air. We will look at the quality requirements and specifications for use in the brewery. Different compressed air generation methods will be considered. For nitrogen and oxygen, we will look at the common uses, quality requirements, and options available for supply, storage, usage, and generation.
Lesson Sign-off
This lesson dealt with process gases. We looked at the quality requirements and specifications for use in the brewery. Different compressed air generation methods were considered. For nitrogen and oxygen, we looked at the common uses, quality requirements, and options available for supply, storage, and distribution.
You should now be able to:
-
Compare the different methods of generating compressed air.
-
Compare the different classes of compressed air and describe how they are relevant for different brewing applications.
-
Explain the typical components in a compressed air system.
-
Describe the ways in which oxygen and nitrogen can be supplied, stored, generated, and used.
A self-assessment lesson will now follow. This will give you the opportunity to determine the level to which you have met these learning outcomes.
