  1. How The IoT Impacts Wine Making 6/9/2021

    You’ve heard of the IoT but what is it? How can it impact your winery and filtration process?

  2. How To Sustainably Achieve And Protect Beer Clarity 6/9/2021

    Removing turbidity after fermentation and maturation is the first step in achieving beer clarity and stability. Post clarification, colloidal and microbial stabilization are the key steps to achieve a beer in the appealing appearance which makes filtered beer so successful in the market.

  3. Four Food & Beverage Trends For 2021 5/28/2021

    In terms of COVID-19’s impact on the food and beverage industry, consumers are cooking at home and seeking food and ingredients that support overall health. It’s important to consider how these new behaviors will shape the future of the food and beverage industry for 2021 and beyond. Pall has looked at four trends and their potential impacts on food and beverage manufacturers. Read on to learn more.

  4. Three Ways Cannabis Extraction Can Help Your Business Save Money 5/28/2021

    With cannabis oils making up a significant amount of the market, processors are trying to keep up with demand while simultaneously trying to keep costs down. But how can you identify areas where you can save money? Cannabis companies might consider filtration solutions to improve their process, thus enabling them to run their business at lower operating costs.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. The Multiple Uses For Heat Exchangers In Brewing 5/20/2021

    There are numerous uses for heat exchangers in breweries — from cooling, pasteurizing, and fermenting products to efficiently dealing with waste streams such as yeast slurry. Compared to other methods of heating, heat exchangers can be much more energy-efficient, providing both environmental and economic benefits.

  8. Design Considerations For Low-Pressure Air Blowers In Wastewater Treatment 5/19/2021

    The basic function of a wastewater treatment (WWT) system is to accelerate the natural process that purifies water. And low-pressure air blowers are used in WWT for two key purposes that help accomplish this goal: aeration and agitation.

  9. Importance Of Filtration in Water Treatment For Process Water & Wastewater Reuse 2/2/2021

    Filtration is very important for many commercial/industrial process water & wastewater reuse applications. In reality, pumping wastewater from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, textile or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amount of suspended solids in these typical applications. In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard. In addition, filtration in water treatment ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing water treatment systems.

  10. 4 Benefits Of Using Reverse Osmosis Wastewater Treatment 2/1/2021

    When a municipality or business wants to reuse their wastewater, some applications require more treatment than others due to the quality of the wastewater. Many standard wastewater treatment systems consist of pretreatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment stages. By the end of the secondary stage, a majority of the pollutants, solids, organics, inorganics, and metals have been removed or reduced. This is where reverse osmosis wastewater treatment can be utilized in a third stage process.
