Dairy Applications

Membrane filtration is an established processing step in many dairy applications. It is also a highly viable alternative to other traditional processing methods. But more importantly, perhaps, membrane filtration offers a range of possibilities for production of exciting, new dairy products.

ABN supplies the best of membrane filtration technology for dairy processes such as:

MILK

• Concentration

• Protein and casein standardisation

• Milk protein concentrate (MPC)

• Milk protein isolate (MPI)

• Bacteria removal

• Protein fractionation

• Feta and other white cheese

• Quark, cream cheese etc. from fermented milk cream

PERMEATE

• Concentration of UF permeate

• Deminaralisation of UF permeate

• Polishing of RO/NF permeate

WHEY

• Concentration

• Demineralisation

• Whey protein concentrate (WPC)

• Whey protein isolate (WPI)

• Bacteria and fat removal

• Recovery of whey proteins for cheese milk

OTHER APPLICATIONS

• Recovery of water and product residues from rinse water
