Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for filtering beer.
- the beer is filtered to remove yeast from the beer.
- the membrane filtration of beer has been an increasingly accepted technology for several years.
- the crossflow method is used, in which the unfiltered beer, i. the unfiltrate is circulated through the membrane filter and the filtrate is withdrawn from the membrane filter. The unfiltrate is thereby flowed along the membrane, wherein the filtrate emerges perpendicular thereto.
- plastic hollow fibers or ceramic filter cartridges with microfiltration pores are used as membrane.
- the unfiltrate side (retentate side) inevitably concentrates on this. This means that the yeast concentration and the concentration of the other retained components (mixture of different proteins, bitter substances and polysaccharides, etc.) increases over time in the unfiltered cycle.
- the problem with the known filtration methods is that during the course of the filtration, the unfiltrate is concentrated to such an extent, and in the course of filtration there is a limit at which the filtration must be stopped and the concentrate must be disposed of. Furthermore, the membrane locks after a certain time so strong that a cleaning is inevitably necessary. To control the filtration of the transmembrane pressure is usually observed and then stopped at predetermined limits, the filtration, expelled the unfiltered or diluted concentrated filtrate with fresh unfiltered.
- the present invention has the object to provide a device and a method for filtering beer, which allow to extend the life of a membrane filter in a simple manner.
- the device according to the invention for filtering beer comprises a membrane filter through which unfiltered material can be circulated and filtrate can be diverted. Furthermore, at least one sensor in the unfiltered stream is provided for measuring a parameter which depends on the yeast concentration in the unfiltrate or retentate. Next, a control / regulating device is provided for controlling / regulating process parameters of the filtering process as a function of the measured parameter. The fact that the sensors are arranged in situ, no sample must be removed, so that a continuous measurement is possible.
- the process can be controlled or regulated as a function of the yeast concentration in the unfiltered. Since the sensor is thus arranged in situ in the unfiltered stream, the yeast concentration in the lines of the device can be monitored and suitable measures can be taken if the concentration is too high. Thus, the measures can already be taken before it comes to clogging of the membrane. Therefore, the service life of the membrane filter can be significantly increased. In addition, the filtration end, i. when, e.g. a cleaning must take place, be accurately determined and no inaccurate estimation using a concentration factor is necessary.
- the at least one sensor is advantageously provided in situ in the non-filtrate circuit and / or in a return to a concentration tank. It is advantageous if the sensor is arranged in the unfiltered circulation, since the concentration of the unfiltered material can be constantly monitored here. In the arrangement in the return or the return line is advantageous that the sensor can be made smaller and thus cheaper than a sensor which is arranged in Unfiltratniklauf, because here is the same concentration as in circulation.
- the senor is a viscosity sensor and / or density sensor, i. that the parameter measured is the viscosity of the unfiltered or the density of the unfiltered. If both sizes are measured, a combined sensor can be used as well as two sensors.
- a sensor is used to measure the viscoelasticity.
- the control / regulating device is designed such that a filtration end can be determined as a function of the measured parameter. This means that the device is stopped depending on the yeast concentration. It is also possible that the yeast concentration in the unfiltered or retentate is adjusted as a function of the measured parameter. For example, if it is determined that the yeast concentration or parameter is too high, the concentration may be reduced by, for example, discharging unfiltrate from the non-filtrate cycle, for example, to a tank or channel. The circulating non-filtrate is then fed to the device with fresh unfiltrate is diluted and thus has a lower concentration, so that the device can continue to operate without the filtering process must be stopped.
- the overall filter life can be increased and the overall filtration performance can be increased (ie, the filtration performance can be kept consistently high and performance degradation can be prevented), delaying clogging and associated cleaning process , Thus, the service life of the filter can be increased.
- the control or regulating system can have a fuzzy logic or an artificially neural network.
- the measured data can be supplied to a software sensor and closed by means of fuzzy system or artificial neural network on the yeast concentration.
- the advantage of additionally measuring the turbidity and including this parameter is that a haze measurement in beer filtration already exists in most cases or is almost always part of the beer filtration system and thus one can resort to an already existing technology. Since the turbidity measurement is usually based on the light radiation (transmitted light, scattered light), it may be that with high numbers of yeast cells, the refraction of light is no longer sufficient and thus leads to incorrect measurement results. This is the case in particular with a cell number from 10 8 cells / ml.
- the advantage of viscosity measurement too recognize, because the measurement of viscosity shows meaningful measurement results especially at high cell count concentrations. As can be seen from FIG.
- the viscosity increases significantly at approximately 10.sup.8 cells / ml (which corresponds approximately to the value of 100 on the x-axis), thus the viscosity indicates measurement results which can be used exactly in the range at which the turbidity measurement, due to inaccuracy or measuring limit of the turbidity measurement, can no longer be used.
- the measuring range of the viscosity should be in a range of 0.002 to 1.5 Pas (at 0 ° C.), thus ensuring that the method / device according to the invention can be realized.
- the controller may use either the measured parameter of the turbidity measuring sensor or the viscosity measurement or density measurement or viscoelasticity measurement parameter to control process parameters.
- the measured values of the sensor are used for viscosity measurement (or density measurement or viscoelasticity measurement) and for a cell count or a corresponding measured value, which is less than a limit value (in particular ⁇ 10 8 cells / ml), the measured values of the sensor are used to measure turbidity.
- unfiltrate is filtered, wherein the unfiltered material is circulated through a membrane filter and filtrate is discharged from the membrane filter, a parameter in the unfiltered stream, which depends on the yeast concentration in the unfiltrate, while the filtration is measured and process parameters of the filtering process depending on measured parameter can be controlled or regulated.
- the parameter can be measured continuously in situ during the filtration process.
- a changing yeast concentration which, for example, is above a limit value.
- the concentration may e.g. no higher than a certain value (for example about 17-18% dry matter) without significantly affecting the performance of the filter.
- the parameters can be measured in the unfiltrate cycle and / or in the return to a concentration tank.
- the density and / or the viscosity can be measured as a parameter.
- the use of density and / or viscosity to determine the concentration of the unfiltrate is a particularly skillful and simple means of monitoring the filtering process.
- the measurement of the viscoelasticity is also suitable.
- the yeast concentration can be adjusted in the unfiltered, in particular unfiltrate can be removed from the circulation, e.g. in a concentration tank or channel or buffer tank.
- the end of the filtration process can be determined as a function of the measured parameter.
- Fig. 1 shows a rough schematic view of the structure of the inventive device for filtering beer.
- FIG. 2 shows, roughly schematically, a graph showing the density as a function of the yeast cell count / ml.
- FIG. 3 shows, roughly schematically, a graph showing the viscosity as a function of the yeast cell count / ml.
- FIG. 4 shows, roughly schematically, the control and regulating device according to the present invention.
- Fig. 5 shows a rough schematic of the control and regulating device according to another embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 6 shows a block diagram indicating the viscosity as a function of the number of cells per ml.
- Fig. 1 shows a rough schematic of a possible embodiment according to the present invention.
- the device comprises a membrane filter 1, for example a crossflow membrane filter, through which unfiltered beer, i. Unfiltered, can be circulated.
- the unfiltrate is flowed along the membrane and emerges vertically from the filter as filtrate.
- plastic hollow fibers or ceramic filter cartridges with microfiltration pores can be used as membrane.
- the pore size for beer filtration is in particular in a range from 0.1 to 1 ⁇ m, in particular 0.4-0.6 ⁇ m.
- the device has a feed line 3, via which beer loaded with yeast is pumped in the direction of membrane filter 1, for example via a pump 7 becomes.
- the device comprises a circulation line 5, into which the feed line 3 opens and through which the unfiltrate, i. the retentate, can circulate in the circulation K.
- the device further has a return line 6, can be derived via the unfiltered from the circulation line 5.
- a control valve 9 is provided, via which the flow of the discharged unfiltered material can be adjusted.
- a drain line 12 branches off from the return line 6, via which the non-filtrate from the return line 6 can be supplied to the channel 10 via a control valve 1 1. Via the valve 1 1, the flow of the unfiltered can be adjusted.
- the return line 6 opens into a concentration tank 2, here e.g. is designed as a cylindroconical tank and which is connected via a line 13 and a control valve 14 to the supply line 3.
- concentrated unfiltered material from the concentration tank 2 can be supplied to the feed line 3 again.
- the beer filtering device comprises at least one sensor 4a, 4b in the unfiltered stream, i. on the retentate side, to measure a parameter that depends on the yeast concentration in the unfiltrate.
- a corresponding sensor 4a may advantageously be arranged in the circulation line 5.
- the sensor 4a is located in front of the filter 1.
- a corresponding sensor 4b may also be arranged in the return line 6, as likewise shown in FIG. 1, here preferably in the flow direction downstream of the valve 9.
- the unfiltrate side inevitably concentrates. This means that the yeast concentration increases over time in the unfiltrate cycle.
- the concentration may do not exceed the agreed limit.
- the concentration must not exceed a limit (for example, not higher than 17 to 18% dry matter), otherwise the performance of the membrane filter 1 will be significantly impaired.
- the process can be controlled or regulated in a simple way depending on the yeast concentration in the unfiltered. Since the sensor 4a, 4b is arranged in situ in the unfiltered stream, the yeast concentration can be constantly monitored and suitable measures can be taken if the concentration is too high.
- Particularly suitable sensors are a viscosity sensor and / or density sensor. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 3, there is a relationship between the viscosity and the yeast concentration, i. the yeast cell count / ml. As the yeast cell count HZZ increases, the viscosity ⁇ of the unfiltered material increases at a certain temperature.
- Fig. 6 shows, for example, the viscosity as a function of the cell number at 0 ° C of a sample. Thus, it is easy to deduce the cell number and thus the concentration by measuring the viscosity.
- Sensors for measuring the viscosity or density can easily be integrated in situ into the device so that continuous monitoring of the corresponding parameter is possible.
- a Coriolis mass flowmeter is suitable for measuring the density and / or viscosity.
- a corresponding sensor can determine the density by means of the Coriolis method and the viscosity by means of an additional torsion.
- other in-line viscosity and flow meters or inline density and flow meters are also possible.
- quartz viscometers in particular piezo-mechanical quartz sensors, are also possible as further process viscometers for in-situ measurement.
- Density determination can also be achieved by radiation absorption, bending oscillators, i. Density determination of the flowing unfiltrate by vibration measurement, to be determined.
- the density can also be determined, for example, by means of an ultrasound measurement.
- the viscoelasticity can be measured, which changes depending on the yeast concentration.
- G * G + i * G "
- G "is the loss modulus and G * is the viscoelasticity
- i 2 -1
- Viscoelastic materials have both a measurable storage modulus and a measurable loss modulus:
- the beer storage capacity is smaller than the loss modulus, so for beer as unfiltrate a partially elastic, partially viscous material behavior is characteristic for the unfiltrate and varies depending on the composition and concentration, and thus viscoelasticity can be used to determine the yeast concentration, and sensors for measuring viscoelasticity are commercially available.
- the device according to the invention also has a control / regulating device 8 (see, for example, FIG. 1) for controlling / regulating process parameters of the filtering process as a function of the measured parameter.
- the control device 8 is in particular designed such that, depending on the measured parameter, e.g. a filtration end can be determined and / or the yeast concentration can be adjusted in the unfiltered.
- FIG. 4 shows, roughly schematically, a simplified embodiment according to the present invention.
- a parameter detected by the sensor 4 for example the actual value ⁇ is the viscosity, is passed to the control and regulating device 8, where it is compared with a desired value, for example Hsoii. If the concentration exceeds the setpoint or limit value, a corresponding signal is forwarded to an actuator via which the yeast concentration in the unfiltered filtrate can be set or lowered.
- This actuator is for example the control valve 9, via which a certain amount of unfiltered material can be discharged from the circulation line 5, e.g. in the concentration tank 2 or the channel 10.
- the concentration dilutes which can increase the service life of the filter. It can also be a closed loop control but also an open timing chain is possible.
- the controller 8 may perform the control based on a plurality of different parameters.
- at least one of the following sensors are preferably provided in addition to the at least one sensor for measuring the density and / or viscosity 4a, b: sensor 400 for measuring the turbidity of the unfiltered, sensor 40 for measuring the transmembrane pressure of the membrane filter. It may also, for example, not shown sensors for measuring the filtrate flow, for measuring the mass flow through the filter or a sensor for measuring the pressure loss along the filter element or used along the hollow fibers and used for the evaluation as described below.
- three sensors, sensor 4, sensor 40, sensor 400 are provided by way of example, which, in addition to the density and / or viscosity, convey further parameters, such as, for example, actual values of the transmembrane pressure and the turbidity to the control / regulating device 8 ,
- controller 8 may also be used by the controller 8 for evaluation, such as filter life at a particular time, type of beer, required pumping capacity (for example, to deliver the unfiltered product at a predetermined flow rate), cycle number of the filtration, or Age of the membrane etc.
- the parameters e.g. a software sensor in the control / regulating device 8 and can be closed by means of an artificial neural network (KNN) or a fuzzy system on the yeast concentration.
- KNN artificial neural network
- certain decision rules can be established, which, however, may differ depending on different processes. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the controller 8 may decide that it is only determined that the yeast concentration becomes too high if all 3 setpoints for the 3 corresponding parameters are exceeded. This is just a rough example of a decision rule.
- These intelligent systems are able to combine fuzzy parameters to give a reliable indication of the yeast concentration.
- an actuator e.g. the control valve 9 is driven to derive, for example, unfiltered from the Unfiltrat Vietnameselauf 5 for diluting the unfiltrate.
- the filtration end can also be determined, in which case the filtration process is stopped via a corresponding actuator and a suitable measure, for example cleaning, is initiated around the filter surface to clean the membrane filter 1.
- the filter can be backwashed with beer, concentrate pushed out and the filter refilled, an intermediate cleaning step initiated, a main CIP cleaning initiated, etc.
- an optimal response to the estimated concentration due to the fuzzy parameters can be made.
- the control device can also be dependent The various parameters decide which measure is the most suitable and suggest it to the operator or initiate independently.
- beer is fed after fermentation via a pump 7 which is, for example, frequency regulated and a feed line 3 in the direction of membrane filter 1, for example with a flow of 5 to 250 hl / h.
- the flow can be adjusted via the pump or corresponding control valves.
- the feed line 3 terminates in the concentration tank 2 and / or opens directly as shown in Fig. 1.
- the pump 7 is located after the concentration tank 2 in the supply line 3.
- the filter used here is a crossflow filter module.
- the unfiltrate has, for example, a yeast concentration of 0.1 to 30 ml / ml.
- the yeast cell number depends i.a.
- the sedimentation behavior of the yeast during storage and whether a separator is upstream, from The unfiltered is passed through the filter 1, wherein a portion is discharged as a filtrate in the crossflow and the unfiltered, which flows through the membrane filter 1 in the circulation K is returned in the circulation line 5, wherein at a point 16 the circulating unfiltered new unfiltrate from the feed line 3 is supplied.
- the yeast concentration increases in the unfiltrate cycle K.
- the yeast concentration is monitored in this case according to a preferred embodiment, continuously via the sensor 4a, which is e.g. measures the viscosity and / or density of the unfiltrate.
- the measured values are passed to the control device 8, as shown in FIG.
- viscosity or density or viscoelasticity can be used. If, for example, a sensor is used that can measure density and viscosity as parameters, both values can also be used for the evaluation. If, for example, the parameter, ie, for example, the viscosity and / or density, exceed a predetermined first limit value or desired value, a suitable measure is taken, for example, the valve 9 is activated, which opens and a certain amount of unfiltered material from the circulation line 5 via the Return line 6 passes into the concentration tank 2. Alternatively or additionally, the unfiltered material can also be discharged via a channel 10 by opening the valve 11.
- the yeast concentration in the circulation line 5 drops and the filter can continue to be operated.
- the limit which the yeast concentration must not exceed, for example, is in a Siemensl O 8-10 11 cells / ml.
- the parameter becomes continuous inline measured, so that it can be reacted to an increasing concentration in the unfiltered stream before the membrane filter 1 is added. If the concentration increases again and exceeds the aforementioned limit value, valve 9 is opened again in order to remove unfiltered material.
- the filtration end can also be determined by measuring the parameter.
- the time or switching point for the filtration end is determined if, for example, a certain viscosity (limit value for example 0.005-0.10 Pas at 0 ° C and / or a certain transmembrane pressure between, for example, 1, 2 to 1, 7 bar
- the sensor 4b may also be arranged in the return line 6.
- the valve 9 In order to measure the parameter, the valve 9 must be opened when the sensor is behind the valve in the flow direction -20% of the unfiltered recycled via the return line 6, so that even with the sensor 4b a continuous measurement is possible.
- An advantage of the position in the return line 6 is that the sensor 4 can be made smaller and thus more favorable than in the circulation line 5.
- the concentrate for example, targeted unfiltered, which is supplied via the supply line 3 via the pump, can be added via the valve 14.
- control / regulating device 8 for the evaluation, wherein in particular the turbidity of the non-filtrate with the aid of a corresponding sensor or the transmembrane pressure is measured.
- control may determine a particular course of action depending on the particular yeast concentration and either notify the operator or be initiated automatically.
- the filter is e.g. cleaned by backwashing.
