Project Portfolio and Areas of Expertise

Skim Milk RO Plant
To support innovation in milk powder production, our client sought a more efficient method for water removal from skim milk, beyond the limitations of traditional dehydration assets. This project explored the use of membrane technology to enhance processing capacity and optimize existing infrastructure.
Cow Water Recovery - RO Polishers
RO polishing assets were relocated, rebuilt, and upgraded to boost capacity and improve water reuse across the site. The system now processes evaporator condensate and potable water through a single, enhanced design, delivering high-quality polished water for factory use.

Our range of membrane filtration applications are demonstrated within our Process Flow diagrams.

Whole Milk Process Flows
Skim Milk Process Flows
Cheese & Salty Whey Process Flows
Lactoperoxidase & Lactoferrin Process Flows
