Applications
Preventing Oxidation
In wine production, preventing oxidation is an important step to maintain the quality and flavor of the final product. Carbon dioxide plays a key role in this process by creating a protective layer over the wine.
This layer prevents oxygen from coming into contact with the liquid, which helps maintain its freshness. By using carbon dioxide, wineries can ensure that the wine they produce retains its intended taste and aroma throughout storage and bottling. The effectiveness of this method depends on the proper dosage and application of the chlorine gas, which necessitates precise control and monitoring with gas feed equipment.
The Sparging Process
The sparging process involves introducing gas bubbles into the wine to remove dissolved oxygen and properly balance CO2 levels. This method is incredibly important in wine production, as it enhances the purity and taste of the wine.
During sparging, the gas is bubbled through the liquid, which causes the unwanted elements to rise to the surface and dissipate. This process not only improves the wine’s flavor but also helps maintain its stability during storage. The use of our specialized equipment for sparging ensures the correct flow and distribution of carbon dioxide.
Creating a Sparkling Taste
The molecular reaction between carbon dioxide and water in wine helps produce a spritzy taste. This process can be achieved through natural fermentation in a single tank or by directly injecting carbon dioxide into the wine.
The primary goal is to achieve the desired level of carbonation, which contributes to the wine’s unique taste. Having direct control over the amount of gas added is crucial for achieving consistency and quality in sparkling wines.

Gas Feed Systems
Our gas feed systems provide wineries with the necessary control and delivery of gasses like carbon dioxide and nitrogen. These systems ensure that the right amount of gas is introduced at various stages of the winemaking process, such as sparging and carbonation.
At Hydro Instruments, we carefully design and manufacture our gas feed systems for wineries to be incredibly precise so that they can maintain desired gas levels and flow rates. As such, wineries can depend on our technology to facilitate the complex requirements of their winemaking operations.
Chlorine Detectors
Chlorine detectors are vital for maintaining the safety and quality of water used in wineries. Municipal water often undergoes chlorination to eliminate harmful microorganisms. However, excessive chlorine can negatively affect the wine production process. Chlorine can create a compound that facilitates cork taint, which can lead to a musty odor and the possibility of mold growth.
Detectors monitor the chlorine levels in the water to ensure they remain within safe and acceptable limits. By implementing our chlorine detectors, wineries can safeguard their operations and ensure that their products meet high-quality standards.
Residual Analyzers
Residual analyzers are used in wineries to measure the levels of residual chemicals, such as chlorine, in water and wine. These analyzers verify that the water used in various processes — including rinsing and cleaning — is free from harmful residues.
The accurate measurement provided by our residual analyzers allows wineries to maintain consistent quality control and comply with industry standards. With Hydro Instruments’s technology, you can maintain the overall effectiveness and safety of the winemaking process.
