Mobile Service

We have multiple machine options available depending on your lot sizes. Our equipment is available in a mobile configuration or as a rental option. The mobile option includes a service technician, who will guide you through the process. We can estimate the volume of permeate required in order to reach threshold levels for the offensive compound.  We will need a starting number ideally.  The advantages of VA Filtration’s world leading green character reduction process includes:

• Removal of the offending compound with minimal impact to the wine
• We handle the wine from start to finish
• The ability to process up to 1500 gph of wine with a 15%-25% reduction in “greenness” per pass
• No heat increase in the wine during processing
• Technician supervised
• The equipment used for the process was designed, manufactured and tested in the USA
