Filtration Critical Control Points (CCP)
- Particle removal from all process fluids
- Oil removal from compressed air
- Removal of microorganisms from compressed gases and vent
- Removal of trace contaminants from CO2
- Removal of particles and pathogenic organisms from products and waterStabilisation filtration (yeast removal)

HACCP
If precautionary measures are not in place during production, products may be
contaminated biologically, chemically or physically. "Hazard Analysis of Critical Control
Points" (HACCP) is a food safety management system acknowledged by governments,
regulatory control bodies and the food industry as a system that identifies and
monitors specific food safety hazards and risks.
The HACCP programme should be applied from the production, supply and handling of
unprocessed material, to the processing, distribution and consumption of the final
product. Global markets are demanding more than ever that potential food safety risks
are managed.
ASSURED PERFORMANCE
The ability to test the integrity of a filter provides a valuable quality assurance tool. A
properly conducted integrity test provides assurance that the filter will fulfil the role
that it was designed for, ensuring that it is fit for purpose BEFORE a process run is
initiated. As well as instilling confidence in the filter, recording integrity test results
demonstrates sound process quality monitoring and provides a test protocol that fits
well into a HACCP framework.
VALAIRDATA II
VALAIRDATA II is based on an aerosol integrity test, making it
the most effective and practical integrity test for sterile gas
filters.
BEVCHECK
BEVCHECK is a hand-held instrument that provides a
convenient and easy means of carrying out pressure decay
and diffusional flow integrity tests, on liquid filters or sterile
gas filters.
