Wine microfiltration (MF) and water ultrafiltration (UF) flat sheet industrial membrane unit

  • 1 Engineering Institute of Membrane Technologies of Georgian Technical University

Abstract

They are designed for microfiltration membrane installations for wine (turbidity of the filter FTU 0.12-0.32) of the flat-parallel type with a filtration area of 10 m2, pore size of the membrane 0.1μm, 0.45μm, with a capacity of 250 l/h and for ultrafiltration membrane installations for water (turbidity of the filter FTU 0.02-0.05) with a capacity of 500 l/h. The wine microfiltration membrane installation ensures 100% removal of microorganisms and yeast, which results in ecologically clean, crystal clear, sterile, stable, high-quality wine. Installation of ultrafiltration membrane water purification completely removes suspended particles, colloids, bacteria, microorganisms, viruses, proteins, large organic compounds, microbiological residues and partially chemical components, including hardness salts, from water. Sterile drinking water (bottled water) is produced. Microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane installations can be used by companies for the production of wine and drinking water, such as “family wineries” and “chateau”-type enterprises. Micro- and ultrafiltration membranes and equipment have a low cost, which significantly reduces the costs of wine and drinking water production.
