VA FiltrationVA filtration, a global leader in wine processing technology is pleased to announce the successful commissioning and start-up of its new alcohol reduction facility featuring the latest in distillation column technology.

American Canyon, CA – March 24th 2014.

VA Filtration announced today that it has begun processing wine at its facility on Dodd Court for the purpose of reducing the ethanol content of wine.  According to Bryan Tudhope, general manager, the facility features a state of the art vacuum distillation system that has the capability of processing both wine and/or permeate.  The distillation column features deep vacuum operation, indirect water heating and a very small hold-up volume making it ideal for both large and small batch wine or permeate processing.

DSP Manager for the facility, Vickie Wahlstrom, with over 15 years of alcohol reduction experience, is very excited to be part of this latest service offering.  “I like the fact that not only can we process wine for alcohol adjustment, but we can also perform services including VA reduction, crossflow and other taint removal services – making VA Filtrations facility a one stop shop”.

In addition, VA Filtration will be launching a new mobile service related to its alcohol reduction service which will allow wineries to send a “low color wine fraction” to the American Canyon facility for processing.  With an approximate 1-2% ethanol-in-product return, this process will be the most efficient wine ethanol adjustment service in the US, saving wineries the stress of sending out high color wine and at the same time reducing shipping volumes.

This latest alcohol adjustment service offering from VA Filtration USA confirms that they are leaders in technology dedicated to the improvement of wine processing technology.
