PURE Bioscience Inc. announced an application method for membrane treatment in the dairy and beverage industry using its flagship product, PURE Hard Surface.

This solution addresses common membrane fouling and sanitization challenges, delivering outstanding results that enable operators to restore throughput and sanitize the membrane without damage or oxidation, according to the company.

Tom Myers, EVP of Technology & Development at PURE Bioscience, stated, “The introduction of PURE Hard Surface to the Dairy and Beverage industry represents a significant advancement in membrane treatment technology. This product delivers unmatched efficiency and enhances filtration operation and longevity.”

 Key Attributes of PURE Hard Surface for Membrane Treatment, according to the company:

One Treatment—Zero Compromises: Achieve superior results with just one treatment. PURE Hard Surface effectively removes fouling, restores flow, and delays the need for membrane replacement without compromising membrane integrity.

Proven Performance: Our solution boasts results with successful treatments demonstrating an impressive 4+ log reduction in 120 seconds. Additionally, it is NSF-listed, making it ideal for eliminating harmful bacteria in the dairy industry without causing membrane oxidation.

Complete Penetration in Minutes: In practical applications, our treatment has shown complete membrane penetration within 5 minutes for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, effectively scrubbing away fouling and restoring throughput. Similarly, our ultrafiltration treatment (UF) systems resulted in immediate penetration and unmatched restoration of throughput while sanitizing to meet stringent quality specifications.

Simplicity and Effectiveness: Membrane operators prefer PURE Hard Surface for its no-hassle approach. The ready-to-use formula requires no mixing—fill and go. Plus, with the lowest EPA toxicity rating, there is no need for personal protective equipment, making it highly safe for staff.

Environmentally Safe: Our treatment poses no risks to wastewater systems, ensuring no impact on digesters or discharge permit compliance.

Cost-Effective Solution: With just one treatment, manufacturers can sell full-priced finished goods, reduce operational costs, and significantly prolong the lifespan of their membranes, contributing to overall operational efficiency.

“Our SDC technology is redefining what’s possible in the food industry – and PURE Hard Surface is at the forefront,” said Tim Steffensmeier, vice president of sales. “This modern membrane application brings a smarter, more efficient approach to streamlining operation, delivering a measurable cost savings, and empowers manufacturers to uphold the highest quality standards in the industry, without the negative trade-offs of traditional chemistry.”
