I'm very familiar with filtration nightmares. You can keep pouring the contents of the stopped filter into a new filter, and it may eventually all go
through. Someone else on my project found success using successively smaller pored filters to get the organic suspension filtered. If there is any
settling, you can gauge if it is a better use of time to wait for some settling, then filter the clearer liquid on top before filtering the thicker
liquid below to delay the inevitable clogging of the filter. It could be worth a shot to try the cooking technique, I think it might be called a
"consomme", where a protein like gelatin is added to the liquid and it is frozen, then thawed in a strainer. Apparently, for things like beef broth
and carrot juice, the gelatin binds the particulates, enabling them to be strained out, giving a clear liquid melt. Good luck! |
