Significant Micro-Organism Reduction Is the Key

For effective filtration and clarification of beverages, micro-organism reduction is a crucial outcome needed from economical, reliable filter systems. In tests with Brevundimonas diminuta, LifeASSURE BLA™ series 020 grade filters exhibited an average log reduction value (LRV)* of 7.3 and the LifeASSURE BLA series 045 grade filters exhibited an average LRV of 3.5.To meet a wide range of needs, the BLA series media roll can be customized to meet a wide range of sizes. When customizing your LifeASSURE series filter, consider the following criteria:

• The nature of the fluid
• The particulate/colloid content of the fluid
• The amount of pretreatment or clarification of the fluid
• The rating of any downstream membrane filter being protected

* LRV= log10 (number of organisms in/number of organisms out)
