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

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