Everyone has filtration problems, so it’s a blessing that folks like Stephen Daniels and the people of FILTROX innovate filtration technologies for the beverage industry. Stephen currently serves as the Business Development and Sales Manager at FILTROX, where he has been working since 2014. He began his career at FILTROX as a sales manager, then later served as a senior application engineer before accepting his current post. Stephen attended Appalachian State University and holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In this episode, Stephen and I talk about filtration and how FILTROX’s new filtration media can remove TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole) from wine to improve its overall taste. We delve into issues caused by the wild yeast strain Brettanomyces. We discuss the critical aspects of depth media filtration and the importance of flow rates, pressures, and sizing. We also explore different tips and tricks for an effective filtration process and highlight the importance of not neglecting filtration when expanding operations.
