Peer comment(s):

agree Ron Hartong PhD (X) : Yes. They are talking about filtration to remove particles from already sterilized (autoclaved) products (=clarifying filtration), or filtration to sterilize the liquid (=filter sterilization).

refining filtration

To refine is a more physical process, e.g. separation by filtration as in Virgin Olive Oil, whereas "clarifying" is a chemical process using a "clearing agent" (the list of possible clearing agents is endless depending on the chemistry of the system).
I think what is being described here is a physical process rather than chemical.
BUT it is not clear!
