Celite® 545 Food Codex Chemicals Grade Filters down to 4.5 microns BVV™'s Celite 545 grade is Food Codex Grade and is approved for use as a filtering and processing aid in the Food Industry & is Made in the USA. Celite 545 is a formulation of Diatomaceous Earth that is used as a filtration aid for the pre-processing of distillate. Diatomaceous earth is considered skeletal remains of single-celled algae/diatoms formed due to sedimentary deposits. This filtration aid is used in laboratory settings and is a surface-active filtration agent that causes abrasion and the adsorption of other materials such as plant lipids. Celite 545 or Diatomaceous Earth is also an effective, safe alternative to chemical pesticides. This ultra-fine powder should be used with the proper safety equipment and should not be inhaled due to the risk of causing respiratory damage.  pH: 10 (10% in Water) 90Kg Size sold at 4x 50lb bags on a Mini-Pallet* Safety Data Sheet Technical Data Sheet Certificate of Analysis     Note:  Bulk Bags and Bulk sizes are non-stocked items and will be ordered as needed and carry a several weeks lead time and require a forklift or pallet jack

Pure-Flo® B80 Bentonite for Decolorizing Edible Oils and Fats What is “Pure-Flo® B80 Natural Bentonite for Bleaching & Decolorizing Edible Oils *FDA-GRAS Instead of removing oil contaminants with harsh chemical additives, our Natural Bentonite Clay B80 uses the clay's inherent properties to purify the targeted oil. This means that naturally-active B80 poses no threat of mineral acid carryover in any finished oil products while significantly reducing red coloring and adsorbing chlorophyll.  As an example, a typical dosage of B80 (anywhere between 0.5% and 1.0%) during the bleaching and deodorizing process of sunflower oil can help achieve a great improvement in the color complexion by removing its red pigmentation.  Our B80 Product’s Benefits and Features This bleaching/decolorizing adsorbent is widely-used during the pretreatment and processing of edible oils and fats. It’s considered to be cost-effective, natural, and of excellent value due to its effective color removal without any mineral acid carryover.  ph Level: 7.2 FDA GRAS-Approved (Generally Recognized as Safe):  This product is regarded to be safe for food processing, as long as it's not a part of the end product being consumed.  NSF-HACCP: Prior to the changes in its down packing, this product was certified Kosher & Halal.

Its carefully engineered pore structure and granular stability allow for controlled removal of specific compounds while preserving desired characteristics of the process stream. Key Features: Micron Size 250-595um Attapulgite granular media, alkaline medium Easy handling, fast flow, color improvement General product improvement with high contaminant absorptivity Color Remediation In-Line Filtration Hot Scrub Recirculate Granular Media FAQ: How do I use granular media? Zeolite adsorbents can be used inline during extraction with LPG solvents or in a hot scrub with non-polar solvents of higher BP like Heptane Is this a replacement for powders? The answer depends on what your processing goals are e.g. color removal, pesticide remediation, etc. Each adsorbent for filtration media will have its own unique set of properties including pH, pore size, polarity, surface area that make certain adsorbents more suitable to certain uses. Can I mix granular media and powders? Yes, you can either mix powders with granular media or place the granular media on top a bed of powdered media. This will however result in a more restricted flow which will require additional pressure to pass your solution through your filter cake. Do I need to bake the media? Media does not need to be baked prior to use but can be only superficial water will be removed which may improve performance. To remove superficial moisture, bake for 8hrs at 200C (392F) How do I know how much media to use? This will depend on a few variables such as the amount of your starting material, the age of your starting material, and desired color of your final product.  How does the media need to be stored? before and after use. Before use; Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place. After use; Store in a well-ventilated area, this media is saturated with flammable/explosive solvent and can self-ignite if not not handled properly. Is the media safe to handle without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)? Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation. When workers face exposure to dust exceeding the occupational exposure limits they must use appropriate certified respirators. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. What micron size filters are required? / The media is larger but are there fines? The media might be large but there are fine dust particles (about 5 million per lb.) that can get carried away in your solution and require separation. We suggest stacking a 5-micron filter on top of a 1-micron filter which will help keep your flow slow as well as filtering out any fine dust particles. The media didn't work, what did I do wrong? There is an exceptionally good chance you did not restrict your solvent flow enough. Try again with a much slower flow through your filter. Another variable you might consider adjusting is solvent temperature. Colder solvent will pull less lipids and waxes which can impede the efficiency of the adsorbent.   Note:  Bulk Bags and Bulk sizes are non-stocked items and will be ordered as needed and carry a several week lead time and require a forklift or pallet jack
