Celatom Diatomite Filter Powder
Celatom is selected by many of the world’s major brewing groups. Supply is based on optimising the quality of packaged beer and cost reduction:
- Celatom grades are manufactured from freshwater diatoms. The low bulk density of the cylindrical Celatom 3 D particle offers economies V’s competitor’s grades, less silica and more voids give greater internal bed voidage for flow and solids entrapment.
- Supply is secured by product quality, technical support and good working relationship with site brewers.
- Celatom grades are produced to EP Minerals World Wide Brewing Specification, meaning standards are set for trace elements such as Iron, Arsenic, etc. Celatom DE grades are naturally very low in beer soluble Iron and Arsenic.
- Optimisation of costs of running the filtration plant, targeting longer run lengths, optimum clarity plus micro stability of the filtered beer.
- Continuity of supply – prompt delivery ex UK buffer stock.
