Presentation examines how membrane technologies can help food and dairy processors address wastewater treatment costs, fouling challenges and operational performance.
Educational session at the Membrane Technology Forum examines how food and beverage manufacturers are evaluating membrane wastewater treatment technologies as costs, regulatory requirements and water constraints continue to evolve.
Educational session explores how evolving consumer trends, product innovation cycles and shifting distribution models are reshaping the global beverage landscape.
Membrane filtration is taking a more central role in dairy processing as suppliers continue to refine systems that impact not only separation efficiency, but also water use, energy consumption and plant efficiency.
Rather than serving as a standalone processing step, membrane filtration is increasingly functioning as a tool to optimize multiple aspects of plant performance, from yield and ingredient quality to water and energy use.
GEA Group's Shanti Bhushan says processors utilizing membrane filtration typically see benefits across three key areas: yield improvement, waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Membrane filtration is moving beyond its traditional role as a wastewater treatment tool across the meat, poultry and seafood industries, as processors look to recover value from underutilized streams while reducing water, energy and raw material consumption.
GEA Group explores how advances in ultrafiltration and nanofiltration enable efficient lactose removal, improve energy use and unlock high-value byproducts.
Consumer demand for lactose-free dairy is rising, driving the use of membrane filtration to remove lactose while preserving nutrients. The market is projected to reach $12.54B by 2026 and $18.95B by 2035, fueled by lactose intolerance, health trends, and innovation.
Educational session on day one of the Membrane Technology Forum showcases how membrane filtration and other advanced extraction technologies enable recovery of premium bioactives from plant and animal materials, including byproducts.
Educational session at the 2026 Membrane Technology Forum explores the global cosmetics market shift toward natural bioactive ingredients, driven by advanced extraction technologies such as membrane filtration.
As membrane technologies continue to reshape dairy processing, ultrafiltered milk is becoming an effective platform for innovation across categories, especially as processors respond to rising demand for high-protein, reduced-sugar and clean-label products.
Keynote session by Poonkodi Tamilmani, Ph.D., director of innovation at Darigold, examines how ultrafiltration is reshaping dairy product development by giving processors greater control over composition, functionality and nutritional positioning.
