Acquisition expands IWS’s capabilities in advanced filtration and water treatment technologies in dairy, food and beverage markets.
Fouling in membrane filtration affects performance, especially for dairy processors focusing on higher solids and efficiency. It impacts flux, cleaning frequency, energy use, and membrane lifespan. To improve performance, it's essential to consider feed composition, operating conditions, system design, cleaning practices, and membrane selection.
Educational sessions from the 2026 Membrane Technology Forum explore how membrane technologies are advancing dairy innovation, plant efficiency, water management and product development.
Once viewed mainly as a processing efficiency tool, membrane technologies are now helping producers recover more value from existing streams, develop new ingredients to meet rising consumer demand and extend product portfolios into adjacent categories.
Dairy producers are evaluating membrane systems differently, looking beyond throughput to understand how those systems can help recover more value from existing streams.
Dairy processors are focusing on utility reduction, water recovery, and efficiency due to rising energy costs and sustainability pressures. Membranes are key for lowering thermal demand, recovering water, and enhancing product yield in these operations.
Educational track at the Membrane Technology Forum explores cleaning, sanitation and monitoring strategies designed to improve membrane performance, reduce resource consumption and extend membrane life.
Educational track at the Membrane Technology Forum explores how membrane technologies support dairy ingredient optimization, processing capacity and value-added dairy production.
Session explores how advancements in membrane processing and dairy ingredient technologies help manufacturers develop ingredients designed for targeted applications, particularly in yogurt and high-protein beverage systems.
Educational session at the Membrane Technology Forum examines how membrane technologies are supporting development of dairy ingredients tailored for specific food and beverage applications.
Module is based on a high-removal ultrafiltration membrane that Toray Industries unveiled in February 2025.
