clear options, clear results
Water for general use will require coarse clarification to remove larger
particles. This can be economically achieved using general clarification
filters from the PROSPUN or PROPLEAT ranges. At the other extreme the
water used for bottle washing or for blending should be sterile to ensure that
no extraneous microorganisms are introduced to the beer. The same BEVPOR
range of polyethersulphone (PES) membrane filters that is used for beer also
suits water sterilisation. For intermediate production stages and make-up of
CIP solutions, where the water is used to clean and sanitise pipework, bottling
equipment and process filters, fine clarification offered by PREPOR GF and
PEPLYN range filters are ideal.
Multiple-barrier techniques may be used, for example where water for
blending requires softening or demineralisation. In this case, filter selection is
based on the combined performance of the overall treatment process,
protecting expensive ion exchange resins and reverse osmosis membranes and
trap filtration to prevent shedding of ion exchange resin or carbon from
granular treatment processes.
- Wide range of retention ratings provides coarse and fine
clarification and sterilising options.
- Options to suit filtration-only and multiple-barrier
treatment.
- Dechlorination to prevent formation of flavour taints.
- High mechanical strength and chemical resistance enable
washing and regeneration of the filters to increase service
life.
- Direct impact on quality assurance and HACCP frameworks.
