Crossflow

Overview

Whether it's wine, cider, beer, dairy, or vinegar, Food & Beverage production is a complex and delicate process that must be carefully controlled to produce the best and most consistent outcome.

Crossflow Filtration Principle

Crossflow Filtration uses a selective porous membrane that filters a liquid to purify, or clarify it. in Crossflow Filtration, the liquid is circulated in parallel to the membrane. A turbulent flow stream is created on the surface of the membrane, thus preventing filtered particles from settling on the membrane surface.

Benefits

• Low relative energy requirements

• Consistent product quality throughout filtration runs

• Environmentally friendly process as no filter aid is used

• Very low water consumption

• Low volume waste stream

• Drastically simplifies the product process steps

• Gives a microbially stable product

• Very long service life of membranes, often several years, giving economies in OpEx and significant ROI
