  • Up to 50% lower solid waste in the brewery.
  • Low water usage.
  • Lower CO2 footprint.
  • Lower beer loss.

SYSTEM AGILITY

  • Straightforward process.
  • Unique start-stop procedure.

BENEFITS

Key benefits of Pentair X-Flow Beer Hollow Fiber Membrane Technology include:

  • Optimized pore size distribution for a reliable blocking of yeast and strong reduction of beer spoiling bacteria
  • Ideal polymer for food contact, cleaning chemicals and high temperatures
  • Iron pick-up free so a clearly better taste stability

SUSTAINABLE QUALITY

Iron pickup is prevented when use of diatomaceous earth filter-aid is avoided, reducing the aging process and thereby improving the taste stability of beer. 

SUSTAINABLE SUPPORT

Experience greater peace of mind as Pentair BMF experts handle the entire project management of the Beer Membrane Filtration System installation, with dedicated service support for its lifetime.

SUSTAINABLE OPERATION

The use of membranes brings with them a more sustainable way of working.  
Unlike kieselguhr which is single-use, membranes are resuable and last several years, this results in a lower CO2 footprint.
The harmful disposal of filter media waste is also no longer needed.
