Filtration Mechanisms
Membrane filters, given the mechanisms of retention, work as either depth filters or
surface (screen) filters, and in some cases has aspects of both. However, membrane
filters are predominately used in the final filtration step because they assure the most
reliable retention of particles and specific beer-spoiling microorganisms. Retention
mainly takes place on the membrane surface by the sieving affect.
Operation
Multiple-stage cartridge filtration is generally practiced to limit particle loading on the
final stage. The first stage should be designed for high solids capacity with a rating of
between 10 and 20 m used as a "trap filter" for kieselguhr or PVPP leakage. A
membrane filter with this micron rating provides protection to the downstream filters.
Sterile Filtration
Cartridge membrane filters are effective for sterile filtration, or microbiological
stabilization of beer after it has undergone depth filtration. For brewery use a pore
size of 0.45 m is necessary to retain most potential spoilage organisms, yeast, and
inert particulate matter on the surface.
