X-Flow provides an excellent answer to the challenges associated with water usage in the food & beverage industry.
X-Flow membranes can be used for:
R100
R100 is a stainless steel module used for the filtration and clarification of aqueous solutions and beverages such as wine, juice and cider. With feed-and-bleed operation in cross-flow mode with regular backwashes, the R100 membrane offers continuous (unmanned) operation and excellent throughput, eliminating the use and disposal of kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth): no CO₂ loss, no oxidation, no color loss, and no product loss with high recoveries of over 98 percent. Adjusting the filtration to different types of wine is relatively easy, and the wine quality is much less dependent on the staff than it is with diatomaceous earth.
R30
R30 modules are usually racked in a skid (standard unit) of 6 modules. The permeate flow ranges between 1200-2400 liter per hour per module, which amounts to 7.5-15 m3 per hour per skid. The mode of operation is typically batch-wise, but continuous operation by alternation between two sets, or cascade systems, are also possible.
S14
S14 modules are usually racked in a skid (standard unit) of 18 modules. The permeate flow ranges between 400-800 liter per hour per module, which amounts to 7.5-15 m3 per hour per skid. The mode of operation is typically batch-wise, but continuous operation by alternation between two sets, or cascade systems, are also possible.
BMF
Pentair‘s Beer Membrane Filtration System - BMF establishes a sustainable brewing process and a matching working environment void of the health and safety risks that were present in the Diatomaceous Earth (DE) era of filtration. And since the goal is to produce the best and most constant beer quality, one cannot overlook BMF’s measurable improvement to the beer’s taste and colloidal stability. Read more
