Dairy

Maintaining a balance between creating high quality dairy ingredients while maintaining a low production cost can be challenging. Our line of membrane products utilize a blister resistant design and crossflow filtration technology to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, increase productivity and decrease contamination risk. Our membranes are constructed to tolerate harsh cleaning requirements extending their operating life and optimizing every step of dairy membrane processing.

Whey 
If you are concentrating, clarifying, or demineralizing whey protein, our protein-separation processes can help you reduce operating expenses and boost yield. We also offer complete evaporation, crystallization, spray drying systems, and powder handling & packaging systems

Ideal for:
• Whey Defatting
• Whole Whey Concentration
• Whey Protein Concentrates / Isolates, Spray Drying
• Whey Demineralization
• Permeate Polishing
• Permeate Concentration & Spray Drying

Milk and Cheesemaking 
Our filtration and separation solutions for milk production and cheese production are exceptional at concentrating proteins for your milk products. In addition to membrane filtration, we offer complete evaporation, crystallization, spray drying systems, powder handling & packaging solutions, and a variety of cheese making equipment and solutions.

Ideal for:
• Casein Concentration
• Cheese Milk Standardization
• Milk Protein Concentration

Lactose and Permeate 
Our RO/NF membranes provide excellent performance in concentrating and demineralizing lactose streams. We offer complete evaporation, crystallization, spray drying systems, and powder handling & packaging solutions.

Water & Wastewater 
Our filtration and separation solutions for dairy processing wastewater treatment produce water for recovery and recycle back to the plant, or for direct discharge to drain. Depending on the technology selected, contaminants are either reduced sufficiently for discharge or significantly concentrated to substantially reduce hauling costs. Wastewaters from dairies are considered a challenge to treat, often containing high levels of suspended solids, FOG, BOD, and COD.

Caustic Recovery
Nanofiltration Membrane Systems offer a cost effective, environmentally friendly way to recover the expensive caustic solutions used to clean process equipment.

Food

Balancing the demands to cost-effectively produce high-quality food that is safe and nutritious can be a challenge. That’s why we offer numerous food-processing solutions to help reduce costs while increasing process efficiency, yield, and quality. Our systems are made to optimize water usage, remove contaminants, recover valued materials, purify process streams, and treat outgoing effluent to comply with environmental standards.

Protein 
If you are concentrating, purifying or clarifying plant or animal-based proteins, our protein-separation processes can help you reduce operating expenses and boost yield.

Ideal for:
• Plant-Based Proteins
• Gelatin
• Egg or Egg Albumin
• Animal Blood Products

Sugar and Starch 
Our filtration and separation solutions for crop-based sugar, sweetener and starch processing can separate sugars from fibrous and proteinaceous impurities and purify and concentrate them with exceptional results.

Ideal for:
• Dextrose solution
• Sucrose solution
• Starch derivative
• Sugar derivative

Fermentation 
Many of today’s food, beverage and nutraceutical products are manufactured using fermentation processes. One of the key steps in the production cycle is clarification and membranes provide the optimum method of purification for downstream processing.

Ideal for:
• Amino acids
• Enzymes
• Organic acids
• Yeasts
• Vinegar

Process Water
Our filtration and separation solutions for process water function by removing bacteria, viruses, suspended solids and dissolved solids, where required.

Ideal for:
• City Water
• Surface Water

Water & Wastewater 
Our filtration and separation solutions for dairy processing wastewater treatment produce water for recovery and recycle back to the plant, or for direct discharge to drain. Depending on the technology selected, contaminants are either reduced sufficiently for discharge or significantly concentrated to substantially reduce hauling costs. Wastewaters from dairies are considered a challenge to treat, often containing high levels of suspended solids, FOG, BOD, and COD.

Ideal for:
• Bakery
• Dairy
• Edible Oil Processing
• Condiments and Dressings
• Meat and Poultry Processing
• Restaurant Waste
• Starch
• Salad and Vegetable Processing
• Rendering and Slaughterhouse Industries

Beverage

With more membrane products than any other manufacturer, our filtration is used to process bottled water, juice, wine and other beverages. We help manufacturers to concentrate, clarify and purify their products. From water to wine, it’s smart technology that’s behind the world’s favorite beverages.

Beer  
As a complete solution provider, we have applied our experience and expertise to develop our beer crossflow filtration cartridges. Our filtration solutions are energy efficient and are environmentally friendly to help your company comply with increasing stringent product quality requirements.

Ideal for:
• Lager
• Ale
• Specialty Beers
• Brewing Liquor

Wine 
As a complete solution provider, we work to improve the efficiency and yield of your wine production. We offer our wine crossflow filtration systems to clarify wine, and lees systems to recover more wine from lees and increase production yield. Our RO and NF technologies are used for alcohol and acidity reduction in wines.

Ideal for:
• Red Wine
• White Wine
• Wine Lees

Juice
Our membrane products are designed to provide the most effective juice clarification process for a large variety of juice types. Juice manufacturers around the world use our membranes to filter light or dark juice, ensuring that only turbidity is removed, while color, flavor and aroma are maintained.

Ideal for:
• Apple, Pear, Cherry
• Grape
• Cranberry
• Orange, Lemon, Lime
• Beet
• Exotics (Guava, Mango, etc.)

Coffee and Tea 
Our membrane products are used to clarify and concentrate coffee and tea products.

Ideal for:
• Coffee
• Tea
• Cold Brew Coffee

Water & Wastewater
Our filtration and separation solutions for beverage processing wastewater treatment produce water for recovery and recycle back to the plant, or for direct discharge to drain. Wastewaters from these industries typically contain high levels of sugars (BOD and COD) and often have residual ethanol, depending on the application.

Ideal for:
• Juice
• Coffee
• Tea
• Soft Drinks
• Beer
• Wine
