The clearer way to filter your beer
Pentair’s Beer Membrane Filtration (BMF) Systems, powered by X-Flow hollow fiber membrane technology, offer breweries a reliable, agile, and sustainable alternative to traditional filtration methods. Designed for breweries of all sizes—from craft to large-scale operations—our systems deliver consistent beer quality with minimal environmental impact.
Why choose a pentair bmf?
-
Consistent Beer Quality
-
- Iron-free filtration—no diatomaceous earth (DE) means no iron pick-up, preserving flavor integrity and extending shelf life.
- Optimized membrane pore size that ensures superior clarity and microbiological stability by effectively removing yeast and reducing beer-spoiling bacteria.
- Automated operation that minimizes batch-to-batch variation.
-
Sustainable Operation
-
Reusable membranes eliminate the need for single-use filter aids like DE, reducing waste and lowering your CO₂ footprint.
- Up to 50% lower solid waste due to the elimination of diatomaceous earth, use of long-life reusable membranes, and reduced need for disposable packaging and filtration materials.
- Reduced water usage due to eliminating filter aids, optimizing cleaning cycles, and minimizing beer losses.
- Low CO₂ footprint due to the elimination of DE, reduced energy and water usage, minimized beer loss, and efficient, automated operation.
-
System Agility
-
Suitable for both batch and continuous processing, our systems adapt to your brewery’s needs with ease.
- Start-stop capability.
- Ideal for brand changes.
- Easy to expand filtration capacity.
-
Enhanced Filtration Performance
-
- Modular, compact design that scales with brewery size and minimizes infrastructure and installation costs.
- Integrated, automated systems that reduce the need for additional equipment and lower labor requirements.
- No consumable filter aids like DE and long-life reusable membranes, cutting recurring material and replacement costs.
- Efficient operation with optimized CIP cycles and reduced beer loss, lowering utility usage and improving yield.
-
Predictable Output
-
- Smart automation, including the ability to run filtration and CIP cycles in parallel, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted operation.
- Remote monitoring and diagnostics that allow real-time adjustments and proactive maintenance.
- Stable membrane performance that delivers uniform clarity, taste, and microbiological stability.
- Smart automation, including the ability to run filtration and CIP cycles in parallel, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted operation.
