The Operating Context
Operating Context
Suspended solids in wine stocks affected acetation and final filtration. Removing that load upstream connected process stability with downstream separation speed.
Coordinated centrifuge filtration with backup filtration, cleaning and consumables requirements. The work addressed solids ahead of acetation, eliminating acetation stalls and increasing final filtration speeds while retaining a practical operating arrangement for the plant.
