Protecting your food and beverage production from airborne pathogens and/or spoilers is mission-critical to ensure product quality and brand reputation. A key task of sterilizing grade gas filters is to remove airborne contaminants and provide microbiologically stable finished products, ingredients, packaging and equipment surfaces.
It’s important to know that not all gas filters are the same. Selecting the most suitable gas filter for your critical applications is key, including aseptic filling and fermentation gas applications. The selection criteria and sizing for these filters depends on filter type, removal performance, gas type and process parameters such as gas temperature, flow rate, and supply pressure.
In our webcast, “Sterile Gas Filtration in Critical Food & Beverage Applications” , you’ll learn:
How final membrane filtration protects your product quality from airborne microorganisms
How selection of a gas filter affects your contamination risk by testing the integrity of gas filters as part of a quality control program
