Utilities Filtration - Food & Beverage

Secure the Quality of Utility Water, Steam, Air and Gas to Ensure Smooth Operations

Our filters help remove particles and bacteria from critical service fluids

Food and beverage manufacturers face many complex challenges on a daily basis. Often, solutions for these can be traced back to basics. Utilities management in food plants underpins success.

Utility fluids such as water, air, steam and other gases support all manufacturing processes and represent the basic building blocks which are used to create products or enable plant operations. Their quality and handling influences downstream applications and impacts overall smooth and economic plant performance.

Securing the quality of utilities based on their end use requirements is a good manufacturing approach which proactively eliminates problems, safeguards the process, and allows food and beverage manufacturers to focus on the larger challenges they face. Pall Corporation can help our customers with these basics.

Air/Gas Filtration – in the food industry – proven performance

Pall’s long and proven experience in satisfying general and critical air and gas applications in many industries translates to food and beverage product and process protection. We offer liquid/gas coalescers, activated carbon filters, particle filters and validated microbial and bacteriophage removal filters.

Liquid/gas coalescers deliver clean aerosol-free gas ensuring corrosion protection and reliable cost-effective downstream equipment operation. Particle filters eliminate unwanted airborne particles and visible contaminants to protect the final filters to ensure long service life. Lastly, the microbial final cartridge filters remove microorganisms in critical environments under both humid and dry conditions. A typical 3 stage installation is shown below.

Some example applications include:

Tank vent protection
Protection of drying or hot air
Oil and moisture removal from compressed air/gas
Aseptic bulk storage tank and sterile filling
Seed, propagation, and production fermenter protection
Fermenter exhaust air filtration
Moisture removal from sampling air for analytic equipment protection
Fermenter sparging air filtration
Microbial removal from pneumatic air for product protection from contamination of food products
Protection of starter culture tanks from microbial and bacteriophage contamination

Water Filtration in the Food and Beverage Industry – To Meet Your Specific Needs

Clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless, water is the common thread that runs through the production of any food and beverage. Whether you’re producing alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, packaged food or ingredients, water is one of the most critical raw materials. As an ingredient, fluctuations in water quality and content affect taste, appearance, and even safety. Additionally, as a utility fluid for rinsing, cleaning and product pushing, water quality can also affect the efficient operation of any packaging, bottling or production facility.

With hundreds of Pall Aria^TM hollow fiber membrane systems installed in food and beverage plants globally, and thousands of water clarification, polishing and sterilizing applications in use, Pall’s experience in handling plant water is at your disposal. We tailor our solutions to our customers’ unique technical and economic requirements.
