Advantages of Membrane Filtration
Comments Off on Advantages of Membrane FiltrationMembrane filtration facilitates a physical separation process by separating molecules of varying sizes and properties. The different pressure levels on either side of the membrane act as the catalyst for the separation process. Membrane technology reduces overall production costs while improving product quality. The process involves passing one feed stream in a membrane system, which […]
Key Uses of Liquid Nanofiltration
Comments Off on Key Uses of Liquid NanofiltrationWhat Is Liquid Nanofiltration? Nanofiltration (NF) utilizes semipermeable membranes to filter our elements larger than 0.001 micron to 0.01 micron from a liquid feed stream. While the exact size of the elements filtered out depends on the size of the membrane pores, NF membrane filters can typically be used to remove suspended solids, microorganisms, and […]
How to Calculate Transmembrane Pressure
Comments Off on How to Calculate Transmembrane PressureMany food and beverage products, such as low-fat/no-fat dairy products and whey proteins, are produced by the membrane filtration process. This process feeds a liquid through a membrane system, which divides the feed into two separate streams. The feed that passes through the synthetic membrane in the filtration system is known as the permeate, whereas the […]
Types of Membrane Filtration Materials
Comments Off on Types of Membrane Filtration MaterialsIn the food and beverage industry, membrane filtration is a commonly used process to increase the value of various plant-based and dairy products and facilitate the reuse of water. Many products are produced through the process of membrane filtration, including whey protein concentrate and yogurts. It’s also used to concentrate plant-based proteins and extract water […]
