Oenoflow™ PRO XL-A Crossflow Microfiltration System

Since 1946, Pall has pushed the limits of science and technology to solve the most complex filtration, separation and purification challenges. The Oenoflow PRO XL-A System was built to help wineries achieve two important goals:
• Reduce energy usage to support goals for net zero carbon emissions
• Reduce water usage given considerable water shortages experienced in many regions

Data shows significant reductions in both energy and water usage of up to 60% with Oenoflow PRO XL-A when compared to traditional Oenoflow systems.1

The Oenoflow PRO XL-A systems are specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of large wineries and bottlers. Clarification is achieved in a single process step without the need for filter aids, centrifugation or significant impact on the organoleptic characteristics of the wine. By increasing yields, reducing waste volumes and maintaining more consistent filtrate quality, the fully automated systems provide a cost saving sustainable alternative to traditional wine clarification methods.

The system utilizes Pall’s proven hollow fiber membranes with unique mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance which allow high productivity and repeated exposure to aggressive cleaning regimes. The large surface area modules enable manufacture of compact systems with low water and chemical consumption in line with winery conservation programs.


The Oenoflow PRO XL-A system utilizes Pall’s proprietary Optimizer algorithm that analyzes production data and automatically adjusts operating parameters in real time to maximize system efficiency. This feature can deliver significant savings in operating expense (OPEX). The system is connected to Pall servers which allows the user easy access to their data through Pall’s Oenoflow PRO app or browser portal.

With customizable operating cycles, process trend recording and a wide range of options, the Oenoflow PRO XL-A system offers an advanced solution with the flexibility required in most modern wine cellars, custom crush and bottling operations.

1 Reductions in energy and water usage are based on Pall’s own trial results and actual reductions may vary.
