The Client faced the critical operational challenge of limited indoor space and the need to leverage existing utilities for the installation of a new deaerated water (DAW) system. This constraint threatened their ability to maintain product quality and scale production efficiently. The Client required a solution that would not only fit their physical and utility limitations but also support their commitment to sustainability and premium product standards.
First Key began by collaborating closely with the Client to define precise production requirements, including flow rates and dissolved oxygen thresholds. Our team conducted a comprehensive site assessment, estimating utility loads to validate whether existing infrastructure could support the new system. We evaluated both outdoor and alternative indoor installation options, then designed a custom DAW solution integrating advanced stripping technologies, energy-efficient components, and seamless connectivity with the brewery’s water supply, CIP processes, and packaging lines. The project leveraged AutoCAD, utility calculators, and robust budgeting tools to ensure accuracy and scalability.
The Client received a tailored DAW system design and a detailed capital budgeting package, enabling them to confidently plan for next year’s production cycle. The solution delivered measurable improvements in operational efficiency, product consistency, and resource utilization. By optimizing utility loads and system integration, First Key empowered the Client to maintain freshness and flavor integrity while supporting future growth. The project identified a clear business opportunity: scalable infrastructure investment, positioning the Client to capture increased market share and drive sustainable expansion in the competitive craft brewing sector.
