Can Dairy Plants Survive Without Membranes TODAY?
In today’s world where there are so many pressures on dairy plants to produce high quality products in a cost effective, efficient and sustainable manner, can a dairy plant survive without using membranes?
Membranes can be used in every aspect of the dairy supply chain. From hauling milk or dairy components long distances to breaking down milk and dairy streams into components to maximize yield, formulation and microbiological quality, or to minimize waste and recover valuable byproducts, membranes are valuable tools in the dairy manufacturers toolbox.
In this session we will discuss the process flows and use of membranes through the entire supply chain from raw materials to products to waste disposal as we debate this question, can dairy plants survive without membranes today?
