IMPBW116 – Carry out filtration and dilution for chilled and filtered beer in brewing
Overview
This standard covers the skills and knowledge needed for you to carry out filtration and dilution for chilled and filtered beer in brewing.
This standard details the skills need for partially or fully removing constituent parts from the whole. It details the skills required to start up, run and shut down equipment, as well as being able to take the appropriate action should operating problems occur. It is also about working to product specifications and production schedules.
This standard also covers understanding the principles of filtration and dilution for reducing high gravity beers to sales gravity in brewing. It covers the regulatory requirements, filtration principles and function, dilution specifications and blending.
Complying with and understanding health and safety, food safety and organisational requirements are essential features of this standard.
This standard is for you if you are involved in controlling segregation and maintaining integrity and require a broad knowledge and understanding of beer filtration and the dilution of high gravity beer to sales gravity in brewing.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
Prepare for segregation
1. prepare for segregation in accordance with the legal or regulatory requirements, the organisational health and safety, hygiene and environmental standards and instructions
2. check product specifications at the right time
3. set up equipment according to specification
4. check that material for segregation is available and fit for use
5. check that services meet requirements
6. start up the plant and check that it is running to specification
7. take effective action in response to operating problems
8. maintain effective communication
Carry out segregation and maintain integrity
9. carry out segregation and maintain integrity in accordance with the legal or regulatory requirements, the organisational health and safety, hygiene and environmental standards and instructions when carrying out segregation and maintaining integrity
10. use equipment and check that it is supplied with materials and services
11. achieve the required output to the correct specification
12. check the product is transferred to the next stage in the manufacturing operation
13. take effective action in response to operating problems within the limits of your responsibility
14. maintain effective communication
Finish segregation and maintain integrity
15. finish segregation and maintain integrity in accordance with the legal or regulatory requirements, the organisational health and safety, hygiene and environmental standards and instructions
16. time shut down according to specifications
17. follow procedures to shut down equipment
18. deal with items that can be re-cycled or re-worked
19. dispose of waste in accordance with organisational requirements
20. make equipment ready for future use after completion of the process
21. maintain effective communication
22. complete all necessary documentation
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand
1. what the regulatory requirements for control and labelling of specific gravity are
2. what the purposes of filtration are
3. the principles of filtration including sieving, depth and absorption
4. the origin, nature and preparation of filter aids, including diatomaceous earth (kieselguhr and perlite)
5. what the operating principles of rough beer filters are
6. what the operating principles of polishing filters are
7. the sequence of events in a typical filtration system
8. how to interpret a filtration flow diagram
9. what the health and safety hazards are associated with filter aids
10. the personal protection and the plant safety features necessary during filtration
11. the technical reasons for brewing at high gravity
12. what the quality specifications for water used for dilution are
13. what additions are necessary to achieve final product specifications
