For 2026, the Membrane Technology Forum agenda will include more speakers identifying promising beverage market opportunities, a strategic area for membrane technology.
Whey, once seen as a byproduct, is now a valuable resource for dairy processors, projected to grow into a $26.24 billion market by 2034. Innovations in membrane filtration and byproduct recovery are driving this shift, enhancing sustainability and protein extraction.
The combination brings together two teams with shared values, complementary technologies, and a common purpose: improving water infrastructure through innovative, scalable solutions.
Where conventional ultrafiltration plant processes require a separate pre-filtration manifold to remove debris and particulates, the integrated pre-filter offering combines pre-filtration and ultrafiltration into a single module housing.
Toray develops its F-HFUG Series ultrafiltration membrane module with a 0.005-micrometer pore size to reduce biopolymer passage and downstream reverse osmosis fouling.
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.
