New compact diatomaceous earth-free beer membrane filtration unit launched

The latest BMF system for DE-free beer membrane filtration is now available has been launched by Pentair.

The BMF +Flux Compact S4, which is already in operation at the Princen Brewery in the Netherlands, as well as two other breweries in Europe, is equipped with four type R-30 membrane modules.

According to Pentair, its filtration performance of 30 to 60 hl/h makes it “ideally suited” for breweries with an annual output between 10,000 hl and 100,000 hl.

They explained: “Complex DE handling and disposal is eliminated. In addition, Pentair’s Beer Membrane Filtration gives brewers a fully automated process that can be interrupted at any time.

“This true start/stop filtration is especially beneficial to craft brewers who produce a wide variety of beers.

“Small batches of beer can be run with constantly excellent beer quality and very low beer loss. This provides considerably more turnover for craft beers, which are often exclusive runs.”

The BMF +Flux Compact S4 filter unit is a stand-alone solution on a stainless steel frame. To install the BMF in an existing brewery all that is required is incoming and outgoing beer connections, water, power, compressed air, and carbon dioxide.
