Case Study: EverGrain's large-scale protein facility uses Pall Corporation's filtration technology
New facility focuses on upcycling brewer´s saved grains and converting into high-functional plant-based ingredients.
Pall Corporation, a business in filtration, separation and purification technology, has supplied the filtration solution for EverGrain's new large-scale plant-based protein facility in St. Louis, Missouri. EverGrain's new facility focuses on upcycling brewer's saved grains with Pall Membralox Microfiltration System, which uses ceramic membranes with gradient permeability to purify the valuable protein. The purified high-functional protein, previously used for animal feed, can now be converted into nutritious, plant-friendly ingredients for other food products.
With global protein consumption expected to double by 2050, there is an urgent need to develop alternative protein sources more sustainably. Pall and EverGrain have partnered to support EverGrain's mission to revolutionize sustainable ingredients using a proprietary upcycled process, focused on transforming barley used in the brewing process into high-quality, nutritious, and sustainable protein ingredients for use in other food and beverage products. The new facility is the first commercial-scale facility dedicated to upcycling barley at scale and will play a significant role in creating a sustainable supply of plant protein to fill growing consumer demand.
