Beer

The addition of flocculation aids greatly reduces yeast and haze loadings, and centrifuges are mainly used to pre-filter the beer before sending to the conditioning tanks. However, after conditioning, a final filtration stage is needed to remove residual yeast, other turbidity-causing materials, and micro-organisms in order to achieve colloidal and microbiological stability.

Usually, a two stage filtration process is employed utilising diatomaceous earth or perlite & post PVPP as a filtering medium. Although this type of filtration can produce beer of an acceptable brilliance, the process usually uses sheet or cartridge filters as a final polishing filter to ensure the highest and consistent product quality.
