Labortest zur Minimierung des Versuchsaufwandes bei Pilotfiltrationen

Investigating beer filtration using cellulose fibers requires appropriate methods. One aspect is the preparation of large scale trials. Starting from the filterability test according to Raible and based on the results of diverse pilot scale trials, a laboratory test was created. Apparatus, procedure and methods of assessing the results are described. The new test is qualified for reducing time and effort in upper scale trials, especially in case of varying filter aids compositions.     

Filtration mit kompressiblen Kuchen: Effiziente Konzeptefür eine anspruchsvolle Trennaufgabe

Efficient Process Strategies for Compressible Cake Filtration Compressible cake filtration is a challenging and often critical task in many industrial processes. Conventional design methods are not always appropriate as they fail to address the specifics of compressible structures. Efficient strategies for compressible cake filtration will be presented. The guidelines for process design and optimization are the outcome of experimental investigations, utilizing an innovative compression‐permeability‐filter cell, and a process simulation based on a rigorous model of compressible cake formation and consolidation.
