Feasibility Study on Applying New Coalescence Filtration In Water-Soluble Flavor to Remove Oil Terpenes
The feasibility of using Pall SUPRAdic Ⅱ K250 depth filter module as prefiltration and combining Profile Ⅱ deep layer multiple graded pore cartridge as coalescence filtration to replace the conventional oil terpene removal process in the production process of water-soluble flavor was discussed.During the whole test,under the condition of constant flow rate of 20L/h/10inch(L/h/10inch)of water-soluble flavor and keeping the outlet temperature below minus 6℃,the filtered liquid floatsed up through the separation tank,and the oil drops coalesced from small oil drops to large oil drops,hence were effectively separated from the water phase.The water phase of water-soluble flavor has passed the QA test,and the product met the quality control requirements.During the whole 4 hours of production,the total loss was less than 0.5%(w/w).Pall SUPRAdic Ⅱ K250 depth filter module,as prefiltration and combining with Profile Ⅱ deep layer multiple graded pore cartridge as coalescence filtration,could replace the conventional oil terpene removal process in a new perspective.It not only reduced production time largely,but also improved efficiency and material recovery rate.
