Filtration for beer production
High-quality filtration for beer production
Ceramic membranes offer a first-class solution for residual beer filtration and make a significant contribution to the efficiency and sustainability of beer production. They enable waste-free filtration and are ideal for removing yeast cells from the residual beer.
Advantages of ceramic membranes
Faster cleaning and shorter service life: Ceramic membranes can withstand higher temperatures and are chemically resistant, allowing for faster and more effective cleaning.
More efficient beer production: The efficient removal of yeast cells increases yield and improves beer quality.
Long service life: high-quality ceramic ensures a long service life and high sustainability.
In this way, it reduces maintenance and therefore operating costs in the medium and long term.
Membrane filtration is a process in which solids are separated from soluble components in the feed water using pressure. Membranes act as semi-permeable barriers that can trap or allow particles to pass through, depending on the pore size. Suspended solids and dissolved substances with a high molecular weight in the feed water are retained by the membrane, while water and substances with a low molecular weight pass through the membrane as product water.
Microfiltration can increase total beer production by 1 - 1.5 %.
Up to 50 % of the filtered residual beer can be returned to the main beer stream.
