From the heart of the earth
Mineral water consumption in Germany is almost 140 litres per capita per year – the most popular are waters with a medium carbon dioxide content. Mineral water is the only foodstuff in Germany that has to be officially recognised. It may onle come from originally pure sources and must be bottled directly at the source. Only a few treatment processes are permitted, such as the separation of iron and sulphur compounds
The customer of KAESER is a state-recognised medicinal spring and produces various types of mineral water, natural medicinal water and various sweet soft drinks. The mineral water company operates seven springs. The mineral water is drawn from a depth of up to 170 metres. Four springs are used for the production of organic mineral water.
The mineral water company works according to the so-called Win Charter of the state of Baden-Württemberg and is thus committed to reducing electricity consumption and CO2 emissions. This automatically also applies to the generation of compressed air.
The previouos compressed air system generated the control air required for handling the glass bottles. The annual compressed air requirement was 4.4 million m³. This required a space consumption of about 640,000 kWh. In order to save the corresponding potential, the customer invested in a modern compressed air station from KAESER.
