31. What is Chill Haze And How Do You Remove It? 5/28/2021

    Spirits such as whisky are very fragile and sensitive liquids. Water and alcohol levels in the spirit influence the solubility of turbidity inducing substances. Once a whisky cools some of the compounds, specifically the esters and the fatty acids, stick together. The small particles that are formed give the spirit a cloudy or hazy appearance. This is referred to as chill haze. Read more about analyzing your current process and making some changes can improve performance to achieve a cloud-free whisky.

32. Using Filtration Technologies To Improve Sustainability Initiatives 5/28/2021

    Even if you are already employing sustainable methods in your processes, filtration technologies can still bring further improvements. For example, did you know that filtration technologies can improve your overall process efficiency and reduce your OPEX, thus supporting more sustainable manufacturing practices? It’s worth investigating the options available, such as using membrane-based filtration systems to achieve optimal results.

33. Understanding Particle Filtration In Liquids In Food And Beverage Industry Applications 5/28/2021

    In food and beverage production there is often a need for particle removal filtration of liquids and gases, with the goal of achieving high product quality while driving down manufacturing costs.

    Filters are available with many types of filtration materials, designs, performance characteristics, and separation mechanisms, so much so that their proper selection can seem daunting. This article focuses on a narrower discussion about particle removal performance in liquids with cartridge and bag filters, i.e. in the microfiltration range of over 0.1 micron, and the filtration mechanisms involved.

34. Filtration Challenges In Flavor Production 5/28/2021

    While adjusting to the latest consumer trends is key, flavor houses must also meet requirements for clarity and purity. Selection of the right filtration technology is critical in achieving these goals as flavor producers must overcome multiple challenges.

35. The Highest Standards Of Quality Control 5/28/2021

    For food companies, specifically poultry businesses, accurate testing procedures that are quick and effective can help control contamination levels and ensure quality and consistency. Consumers are counting on companies that have these high standards. The early detection and identification of the presence of contaminant microorganisms, with rapid pathogen testing methods, is crucial.
