Traditionally, catalysts are prepared in such a way as to produce large surface areas. They are therefore usually either finely divided or porous or both. For the maintenance of a large surface area of the catalytic component, use if frequently made of substances which in themselves are inert, but which are capable of supporting the active catalyst in a form that resists sintering.

As the tubes [in the Strainmaster mash tun] are covered, pumps connected with them are operated and this sucks mash on to the tubes to form a "prefilter", analogous with the precoating of a kieselguhr beer filter. The wort is at first recycled, but quickly becomes clear. Sparging is automatic after much of the first runnings have been withdrawn. Finally, the "bomb doors" at the bottom of the vessel are opened to release the spent grains. The operations of preheating, mash receipt and circulation, withdrawal of first worts, and finally spent grain removal take 3, 12, 15, 60 and 15 min. respectively, totalling 105 min. 1, record 11, English, - spent%20grain%20removal

If the liquid is polluted to a fairly high degree, or if the suspended solids to be eliminated are very fine or tend to clog the filter easily, the precoat must be kept porous by the continuous addition of a filter aid. The filtration additive forming the precoat can consist of diatomite(also known as kieselguhr), of activated carbon, of cellulose or even of various resins. 1, record 13, English, - filtration%20additive
