Laboratory Scale Test Minimizing Experimental Time and Effort for Pilot Scale Filtrations

Abstract

Laboratory Scale Test Minimizing Experimental Time and Effort for Pilot Scale FiltrationsInvestigating 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.
