10% of beer worldwide is not filtered
Pub/micro and craft breweries are the fastest growing segments
− 6.7% growth rate
− 90% not filtered
Haze Control with additives and centrifuge
− Isinglass, copper finings, pectine
Challenge
− Consistent product quality
− Limited shelf life
− Microbial stability
− Customer acceptance
From expanding breweries filtration is necessary to control product quality
Do I Need Filtration ?

While health & safety and disposal issues are rising, kieselguhr use is
still acceptable in many countries
− Solutions for operator protection are available
− Disposal is a niche issue
DE supply is not limited
− Beer industry consumes < 10% of kieselguhr mining
DE substitutes are available
− Polymer and cellulose based alternatives
Challenge
− Kieselguhr filtration is always a batch operation
− Powder handling is labor intensive
− Consistent quality (extractable Fe/Mn)
− High operating cost (media consumption, disposal, beer loss...)
It works, but time is up
What About My Kieselguhr Filter ?

The new generation of beer clarification
• Batch
• Cost intensive (labour, DE, beer losses)
• Environmental Critical (disposal, water consumption)
• Well introduced but No more supplier
• Health, safety and disposal concern
DE
• Batch with limited flexibility
• Lower in cost than DE
• High in water, cleaner consumption and beer residuals
• Well introduced, difficult to combine with stabilizing systems, good quality
• Green solution, environment friendly
Cross flow Membrane
Retentate Flow
• Batch and Conti processing
• Low in cost (Lower than DE and Retentate process)
• Low in Water, cleaner consumption, min beer losses
• Well introduced, easy to combine (stabilization/sterile filtration), perfect in quality
• Green solution, environment friendly
Cross flow Membrane
Direct-Flow

5Crossflow filtered beer is the new accepted standard
Is Crossflow Reliable ?
Greater than 180 systems in operation worldwide
− Performance range 20 to 1,000 hl/h
− Greater 150 Mio hl filtered/year
− All types of beers are filtered with the PROFi System
OPEX lower than kieselguhr filtration
− TCO comparison
− Continuous processing
Studies confirm taste preference when compared to kieselguhr
− No Fe/Mn uptake
− Freshness

Continuous filtration and stabilization
− Smaller design/increased flexibility/less beer losses/better quality
Staggered flow rate design
− Adjustable to actual needs/easy expansion or down sizing
Filtration integrated into packaging or fermentation
− Eliminate filter room
− „Just in time“ product based on packaging demand
− Replace BBT by buffer tanks positioned directly upstream of the filling line
Membrane control test to confirm filtration performance
− Increase microbial safety
− Documentation and traceability
Flexible to accomodate varying inlet solid loads
Rethink Crossflow filtration and listen to the brewers demand
How a intelligent beer clarification looks like ?

Filtration serves Brewing
Selected filter technology must cope with varying conditions in the
brewing process
• Incoming yeast counts
• Malt quality/seasonal crop impacts
• Brand changes and different beer types
• Brewhouse variations
• Stabilization technologies
Reliable operation is a key factor for commercial dependability
What about Reliable Filtration Solution ?
Intelligent technology
provides beer in
required quantity and
quality „just in time“
Impacts
- Customer satisfaction
- No change in
operation plan
- Confidence in
consistant quality
- Stay within OPEX
warranty
- Operator safety
Filter line reliability is the #1 factor for control over commercial targets

Is a Centrifuge required ?
The Crossflow process impacts the fouling layer
Less fouling results in
• Less cleaning
• Less energy input
• Better performance
• Minimized membrane exposure to operation
and cleaning stress
For 75% of the installations capital for centrifuge has a short payback
When does a centrifuge make sense
Yeast with varying settling characteristics
Multiple brands
Horizontal tanks (always)
Silica based stabilization
• All stabilizers are allowed
• Lower solid load on membranes
• Less abrasion to membrane surface
