NANO-FILTRATION (NF)
KEY APPLICATIONS
- Concentration & Demineralization of Whey & Milk for Powder
- Lactose concentration for crystallization
- Water reuse in CIP & utilities
- Concentration of Whey to save transportation cost.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Selective Separation – Retains divalent salts, lactose, and larger organics while allowing monovalent salts and water to pass.
- Partial Demineralization – Ideal for producing demineralized whey for infant formula and nutrition products.
- Lower Energy Requirement – Operates at lower pressure than RO, reducing energy consumption.
- Lactose Concentration – Concentrates lactose for crystallization, improving lactose recovery.
KEY BENEFITS
- Enhances Product Quality – Produces high-purity whey and permeate with reduced mineral load.
- Reduces Drying Costs – Lowers load on evaporators and spray dryers.
- Supports Sustainability – Minimizes water usage and effluent volume.
- Enables Value-Addition – Facilitates production of specialized ingredients like DWP (demineralized whey powder).
- Improves Process Efficiency – Flexible membrane step for both concentration and purification.
