Graver Technologies distilled spirits filtration products protect spirits from contaminant and quality issues.
Filtration of distilled spirits can be different than that of other alcoholic beverages due to high alcohol levels which prevent the presence of microbes. Consumers are more concerned with visual and aromatic aspects- expecting a clear and bright product. Manufacturers need to deliver a bottled product free of suspended particles and without the risk of chill haze formation. Contaminant risks can vary greatly, ranging from carbon from the aging (char) or mellowing process to colloidal materials from fruit-based additions, to haze formation that can occur post-processing. Filtration processes are designed to ensure the best flavor, color, and clarity are achieved in the final product.
How often should gas turbine filters be replaced?
This depends on the environment and filter type; however, pre-filters are changed every 3–6 months, while final filters may bechanged once in a year or two. Monitoring pressure drop is key to determiningreplacement timing.
What factors affect the operating life of a gas turbine filter?
Here are some factors:
How do I know when a filter needs to be changed?
Differential pressure across the filter is animportant aspect in this case. If it increases beyond the set threshold, thefilter may be clogged or need cleaning or replacement.
What is pressure drop and why does it matter?
Pressure drop is the resistance to airflow through afilter. A high-pressure drop reduces turbine efficiency and increases energycosts. Selecting low-resistance filters helps improve performance.
