It is used by the largest brewers in London, Burton-on-Trent, and the United Kingdom, for rapidly clarifying drawings, and expressing beer from yeast and grounds; and also by the largest oil refiners and colour makers in the United Kingdom. It can be applied to all trades having large quantities of semi-fluids to deal with.
