The Membran-Tech RO is a reverse osmosis system using membrane filtration technology designed for completely separating water from liquid whey, whey permeate (from UF plant), or even milk (e.g concentrated milk).
The system uses advanced Alfa Laval spiral wood membranes with pore sizes ranging from 30 to 150 Da that allow pure water to be separated from liquid whey. In this way any remains dissolved salts, lactose, acids, proteins, fat and bacteria are concentrated in the retentate.
Reverse Osmosis systems can purify water to approximately 400 COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and with an additional auxiliary unit (RO polisher) the water can be further cleaned reducing contamination down to 50–150 COD range, making the water suitable for reuse in the factory’s CIP process.
