The Membrane Technology Forum announced that Ronni Rasmussen, Application Specialist Membranes & CIP, Novadan ApS will speak at its tradeshow. The speech, "CIP Regimes for New Food Applications" will take place on June 3 at 2 p.m. during the event, presented by Dairy Foods and ADPI, and taking place at the DoubleTree in Bloomington, Minn.

During the last couple of years, new protein products have arrived across the food industry, gaining wider commercial appeal. The focus has mainly been on how to manufacture these products, focusing on formulating products with appealing taste and consistency. However, less is known about how to clean the plant afterward. Some of these processing applications are for the concentration and/or fragmentation of fish protein or plant-based protein. Other applications are specific to beverages, such as the clarification of oat drinks. New ingredient and product innovation using membrane filtration is ongoing. This session will discuss first how to identify the fouling material. The presentation will then discuss:

• How to optimize the production process to minimize fouling
• Investigating and testing known cleaning agents
• Creating new detergents, if needed to suit and/or attain robust consistent cleanability
