Membrane Filtration
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)
