Overview
The beer brewing process involves many steps. Filtration is necessary at several different points in beer production from rinsing the mash with sterile water to cleaning or sterilizing the kegs and bottles before filling.

Applications
- Steam Filtration
Treated steam is used in the brewery to heat the mash tun and wort kettle in the brewhouse. Steam is also used to sterilize tanks, piping, and kegs.
- Liquid Filtration
Degassed water, for blending in the filter cellar or for pushing product through pipes, can be sterile-treated.
- Gas Filtration
Air and technical gases are sterilely processed in the brewery and are used, for example, for wort aeration, carbonation, or evacuating tanks.
Regulatory
In the brewery, hygienic requirements are in place for both the processes and the employees. In order to meet these, there are various guidelines that are implemented by means of HACCP/HARPC.
The most diverse requirements for the preparation of different media can be met by the product portfolio of Donaldson in all areas of the brewery.
