Ways of Application of Perlites during Filtration of Beer.Peer-reviewed article

J. VOBORSKÝ

Priorities and disadvantages of perlites against kieselguhrs given in literature were confronted with results of experimental filtration in semipilot and full-scale plant trials. Perlite is possible to use both in precoat and dosage in combination with kieselguhr. The quantity of perlite and its portion depends on the type of filter and filterability of beer. On the simulated example there is documentated the economy in filtration aid costs at rate 15%. In practice it is possible to achieve by consistent application l0 up to 20% economy at comparable quality of filtration.
