Separation technologies company Kovalus Separation Solutions recently released a new white paper titled “Water Conservation and Efficiency Opportunities in Dairy Membrane Operations.” The publication provides practical, proven techniques for reducing water consumption, reclaiming valuable resources and making dairy membrane operations more efficient — especially in ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and microfiltration setups.

Building on decades of hands-on experience in membrane and process system design, the white paper outlines practical, data-backed methods for optimizing water efficiency in dairy operations.

• Rinse recovery and valving strategies: How to reduce water using conductivity – or turbidity-based controls
• Low versus high pressure systems: Understand the structural water usage differences between UF/MF and RO/NF systems
• Chemical recovery with SelRO: Techniques for reclaiming caustic and acid solutions even at extreme pH and temperature levels
• Seal water reuse: How small upgrades (tanks, sensors) can save thousands of liters/gallons annually
• DF water optimization: Smart distribution without jeopardizing product quality
