What is membrane filtration?
Industrial membrane filtration plants were introduced in the dairy industry in the beginning of the 70's. The basis for using membrane filtration in the dairy industry is that the dry matter components in milk and whey particles consist of of different sizes. . By selecting filters/membranes of differrent poresizes and apply pressure on the product to be filtered, it is possible to divide the milk and whey in different fractions. What passes the filter/membran = permeate and what does not pass = retentate.
