High Purity – Food and Beverage Grade PES
Hydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Developed for the Food and Beverage Industry

Food and Beverage Grade PES Cartridges have been designed to comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. PES is a low protein binding membrane and therefore a good choice for fermented beverage applications. Food and Beverage Cartridges are flushed with DI water to remove manufacturing debris and extractables. Each cartridge module is tested to ensure integrity.
