On-Demand:
9:00am-10:00am CDT | Module Design & Options and Fundamentals of System Design
Speaker:
- Mike Grigus, Sr. Sales Engineer, GEA Process Engineering Inc.
11:00am - 12:00pm CDT | Basic Principals of Membrane Cleaning
This will provide an introduction to the chemical and biological process that may take place in a membrane process, how these process interact with the surface chemistry of membranes to produce fouling, methods to modify or alter processes that will produce membrane fouling, a basic introduction to membrane cleaning with emphasis on membrane chemistry and provide examples of fouled membranes and methods to approach fouling through chemical analysis.
Attendees will:
- Understand membrane surface properties
- Understand basic fouling processes in the feed stream
- Introduction to basic chemical methods to alter/modify fouling processes

Gerold Luss, Consultant, Complete Filtration Resource
Gerold Luss, Ph.D. worked for HB Fuller Company between 1979 and 1993. His duties involved formulation of membrane cleaning chemicals, development of cleaning programs for membrane units, coordinating all membrane activities with regard to membrane processes, membrane cleaning etc. Part of the H. B. fuller membrane projects group. From 1993 to 2009 Gerold helped to found CFR [Complete Filtration Resources] a company which builds membrane systems (primarily for food and process applications), design membrane processes, design membrane systems, coordinate all technical activities of the company. Over the years that he worked at CFR the company grew from 2 employees to one of the larger builders of process membrane systems in the United States.
1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT | Update on Total Protein and Casein Standardization of Cheese Milk and the Use of Microfiltration for Production of ESL Milk
The use of microfiltration for the production of ESL milk offers an alternative way to extend the shelf life of fresh pasteurised milk. This product has successfully been introduced to the market as a differentiated product. This presenation will aim to provide insight to the process and how this can be implemented into a process.
Total protein standardisation is a well know concept, but with the introduction of casein standardisation it is now possible to take the standisation to a new level. Further the fractionation of the protein from milk provides a possiblity to create new product streams and products.
Attendees will learn:
- How to apply microfiltration to your process
- Possibilities for creating a differentiated market milk
- Create value added products from your milk
