What is Brewery Filtration?

Filtration is the process of removing solids from a liquid by passage across or through a porous medium. The effectiveness of filtration depends on particle size and filter medium porosity. Filter media, sometimes called filter aid, is critical to final liquid clarity. Lautering uses the grain bed, especially husk material, as the filter aid. Sweet wort is drawn through the grain bed and particles are trapped in the matrix. Hop’s backs use the same principle. The two most popular forms of filter media in use today are DE and Perlite. DE, also known by its German name of Kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring form of silica derived from the calcified skeleton remains of minute planktonic algae. Perlite is similar in nature but derived from volcanic rock and composed of aluminum silicate. The variety and complexity of shapes of these materials form a labyrinth of channels in the filter bed. However, there are pulmonary health risks, such as silicosis, associated with these materials.

Filtration, stabilization, and sanitation processes are key pillars for beer-making in breweries. They are decisive for the qualitative factors such as taste, clarity, microbiological and colloidal stability, and shelf life of beer. Since the very start of beer production, beer spoilage, microorganisms such as wild yeasts, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus lactic acid bacteria, have posed a problem for brewers. The brewing process demands the highest standards of cleanliness for preserving the unique flavor and taste of beer. Understanding the removal of yeast and bacteria is a major factor in extending the shelf life and taste of all beers and membrane filters can be safely used without compromise to the quality of the finished product. Filters can provide clarity, Bioburden reduction, and sterility, absolute retention of PVPP powder and Diatomaceous Earth (DE) ensures that beer is free from the particulate matter before entering the bright beer tank. Filtration helps stabilize beer and give it a polished, clear appearance. It can also remove elements, such as dead yeast, that otherwise would eventually make the beer unpalatable. That said, especially smaller breweries and brewpubs often prefer to serve their beer unfiltered because they see no advantage to a clear appearance and feel that something elemental may be lost during filtration.

Global Brewery Filtration Market Overview

The rising demand and popularity of craft beer have increased the number of microbreweries and have encouraged small craft brewers to scale up their production. Some of the factors that have worked in favor of this industry globally are-demand for better quality and varieties of beer by the millenniums, the increased number of social gatherings spots in the cities offering beer, and the introduction of canned beer for on-the-go consumers. Technology has also influenced the beer-making process; one such example can be that of the introduction of AI technology in the brewing filtration process. ‘AI-Brewed Beer’ is the use of artificial technology to expedite the brewing process.

There has been a rise in the demand for premium and flavorsome beer produced in small batches. Consumers are shifting from traditional beer to craft beer; this has led to an increase in the number of microbreweries and brewpubs around the globe, which drives the Brewery Filtration Market. Due to the rise in the number of microbreweries, the demand for microbrewery equipment/filtration is increasing, which in turn, is driving the overall demand for equipment in craft breweries. During the fermentation process, the wort is kept in the tanks for a few weeks, and acid is released as a by-product, due to which, there are increasing chances of tank deterioration. In addition, since the tanks are occupied for a longer duration during the process, the requirement for more tanks by microbreweries to increase production remains high.

The water that is used in craft beer brewing can make or break the final product. For the best-tasting beer, it’s critical that your water is free from odors, chlorine, and the other contaminants mentioned previously. Many craft beer brewers use a water filtration system to clean their water prior to brewing. Then, they add the desired minerals back into the water before beginning the brewing process. The cleaning process, like the brewing process, should take place under pressure, which drives the Brewery Filtration Market.Furthermore, Favorable government guidelines & regulations pertaining to alcoholic beverages consumption will support industry expansion. As per, FDA regulatory norms in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, part 173, subpart A, section 173.55, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPP) can be used as a clarifying agent in alcoholic beverages and vinegar, followed by removal with filtration. FDA has set limitations as a clarifying agent at residual level shall not exceed 10 ppm. Hence, the regulatory guidelines provided by the FDA will foster opportunities for the brewery filtration market growth.

However, rising costs of power and energy required for the operation of processing equipment are a key restraint for the Brewery Filtration Market. The brewing industry is growing at a considerable rate and has bright prospects. It requires electricity for running the plants, refrigeration, lighting, and other mechanical processes. Thermal energy is required for processes such as pasteurization and evaporation in beverage processing. Pasteurization is an essential process that kills pathogens and inactivates enzymes. This process consumes a large amount of energy—mainly electricity and other fuels—compared to other processing equipment.

Global Brewery Filtration MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Brewery Filtration Market is segmented on the basis of Type, Customer Type, Filtration Type, and Geography.

Brewery Filtration Market by Type

Brewery Filtration Market by Filtration Type

• Microfiltration
• Ultra-filtration
• Nano Filtration
• Reverse Osmosis
• Others

To Get Summarized Market Report By Filtration Type-

Based on Filtration Type, the Global Brewery Filtration Market has been segmented into Microfiltration, Ultra-filtration, Nano Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, and Others. The Microfiltration segment is accounted for the largest market share and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 4.61% during the forecast period. One of the fastest growing industrial uses for membrane microfiltration is in the processing of beer. Microfiltration has proven to be very efficient in the filtration of beverages, especially beer. When the yeast in beer has turned enough sugar into alcohol and needs to be removed, kieselguhr filters are typically used. However, by filtering the yeast directly from the beer, microfiltration eliminates the need for the kieselguhr pathway. Microfiltration of beer to remove spoiling organisms prior to bottling is referred to as cold stabilization. Yeast, acetic acid, and lactic acid bacteria are among the spoilage organisms that must be eradicated.
