The Membrane-UF System is a cross-flow ultrafiltration unit that is designed to automatically control product concentration in continuous operation. The system provides cost-effective standardized solutions for specific concentration requirements and is designed with minimum retention volume and strict attention to hygiene throughout.
The Membrane-UF (AL-mem UF) system is commonly used as a concentration and purification step in other processes, reducing the volume of liquid by removing water and other low molecular weight substances.
The AL-mem UF System can be used to economically concentrate proteins, gums and other feeds prior to further evaporation. Plants of this type are widely used in plants for processing blood plasma, gelatin, eggs, pectin extract, carrageenan and chitosan. These devices are also ideal for the production of natural dyes and for the recovery of protein from waste streams.
The actual process temperature depends on the specific feedstock being processed. Typical temperatures range from 5 to 90 ° C (41 to 194 ° F).
