We are able to supply membrane systems for a wide range of food and beverage processes.

Through our partnership with MMS Membranes, we are able to supply you with a system that will sterilise, clarify, fractionalise, concentrate or purify depending on your requirements.

 

 

Microfiltration

Microfiltration refers to the application of membranes with pore size ranging from 0.05 μm to 2 μm and allows for the fractionation and clarification for products such as milk, whey, water, juice, milk fat, casein etc

Applications of Microfiltration:

  • Sterilisation
    • Skim milk
    • Whey
    • Wine
    • Fruit juices
    • Water
  • Purification
    • Fruit juices
    • Wine/vinegar
  • Concentration
    • Milk fat
    • Casein

Ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration membranes have pore sizes ranging from 0.1 μm to 0.01 μm

Applications of Ultrafiltration:

  • Concentration
    • Whey proteins
    • Enzymes
    • Bio-pharmaceutical products (proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, nucleic acids)
    • Milk
    • Fruit juices
  • Fractionalisation
    • Pharmaceutical applications eg. Proteins from salts or peptides
    • Oil from water
  • Clarification
    • Fermentation broth
    • Wine
    • Fruit juices
  • Stabilisation
    • Water
    • Fruit juices
    • Bio-pharmaceutical products
    • Wine

Nanofiltration

Nanofiltration membranes have pores sized from 0.001 μm to 0.01 μm

Applications of Nanofiltration

  • Part Demineralization and Concentration
    • Whey
    • Acid whey
    • Pharmaceutical products
    • Hydrolysed gelatin
  • Concentration and Enrichment
    • Yeast and wheat extract
    • Coffee extract
    • Pharmaceutical applications eg. peptide concentration

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the tightest/finest separation membrane process available, pore sizes range from 0.0001 μm to 0.001 μm.

Applications of Reverse Osmosis

  • Concentration
    • Skim milk
    • Whey
    • Lactose
    • Apple juice
  • Purification
    • Condensate water treatment for reuse
    • Wastewater treatment (prior to disposal or for reuse in the process)
