Filters are installed to effectively remove particulates, yeast, mould spores and bacteria for use in the following process applications:

• Wineries
  For pre-filtration and microbiological stabilisation.

• Breweries
  For PVPP and DE particulate trap filtration, stabilisation, bio-burden reduction prior to pasteurisation, FOB returns, steam and sterile CO₂.

• Cider
  For pre-filtration and microbiological stabilisation.

• Spirits
  For ensuring a crystal clear product.

• Mineral Water
  For polishing and particulate filtration, and microbiological stabilisation.

• Table Water
  For ensuring a sterile packaged product.

• Soft Drinks
  For microbial stabilisation of water, removal of particulates from sugar and flavourings, sterile filtration of CO₂.

• Food and Dairy Products
  To remove micro-organisms, Cryptosporidium oocysts and particulate or unwanted suspended material from utilities such as water, air, gas or steam.

• Culinary Steam

• Powder Handling
  Powder Handling of milk powders, raw materials in bakeries and other food powders that require uniform fluidisation and aeration.

• Sparging
  For the mass transfer of gas into liquid, N₂ injection into emulsifiers and oils, aeration in fermentation, batch hydrogenation applications and carbonation of beverages.
