Beer Filtration with Ceramic Membranes
The newly developed GEA clearamic BeerFiltration offers an alternative to current methods of filtration. Unlike filtration with kieselguhr, this option is based on membrane technology. Ceramic membranes not only deliver reliable filtration results, but there is no need to replace the membranes and they pose no hygiene risks. With regard to cleaning, ceramic membranes also exhibit a number of advantages over polymer membranes. In this article, the properties of the ceramic material, the filtration method and procedure are discussed, followed by a review of test results and a calculation of potential cost savings.
