Membrane Filtration
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
Based on many years of experience, MMS provide detailed and application-specific advice on the possibilities of membrane applications.
Membrane Filtration
MMS Membrane Filtration Plants
Membrane Technologies:
- Microfiltration – pore size ranging from 0.05 μm to 2 μm
- Ultrafiltration – pore sizes ranging from 0.1 μm to 0.01 μm
- Nanofiltration membranes pores sized from 0.001 μm to 0.01 μm
- Reverse osmosis (RO) – pore sizes range from 0.0001 μm to 0.001 μm
- Wide range of application across food and beverage processes, including concentration, clarificaiton and purification.
- Each plant is custom designed to your process and requirements.
Applications of Microfiltration:
- Sterilisation eg milk, whey, juice
- Purification eg Juice
- Concentration eg milk fat
Applications of Ultrafiltration:
- Concentration eg Whey proteins, juice, milk
- Fractionalisation eg oil from water
- Clarification eg wine, juice
Applications of Nanofiltration
- Part Demineralization and Concentration eg whey
- Concentration and Enrichment
Applications of Reverse Osmosis
- Concentration eg Milk, Whey, Lactose, Juice
- Purification eg water purificaiton for reuse or wastewater treatment
- Each system is custom designed to your process and requirements.
