Perlite
Diatomite (kieselguhr)

Application of perlite

As a filtration aid, natural, food-grade Imerys perlites are ideal for filtering wine, fruit juices and edible oils. Perlite filter aid is a cost-effective solution for the filtration of wine musts and lees, and is prized by producers of some of the planet’s finest wines.

Application of diatomite

In the food & beverage industry, Imerys diatomaceous earth (DE) grades are natural, ecofriendly filter aids and process enablers for the production of beer, fruit juices, sweeteners, and edible oils.

Imerys DE is being used in the production of a low-cost, high-performance gravity water filtration device that provides populations in developing countries with access to potable water and reduces the spread of disease, particularly during disaster relief campaigns.
