Nanofiltration (NF) - Membrane Filtration Systems

Nanofiltration (NF) for Dairy and Plant-Based Processing

Versatile Separation and Demineralization Technology

Nanofiltration (NF) can be used for a wide range of applications in the dairy and plant-based industries, e.g. demineralization of whey, milk, plant-based extract and permeate from UF of milk,  whey or plant-based extract. NF membranes are similar to RO membranes, though with a slightly more open structure, allowing passage of small monovalent ions like Sodium, Potassium and Chloride, while rejecting larger, polyvalent ions, and most organic compounds. This means that NF combines concentration (like RO) and partial demineralization.  Like RO, the main driving force is high pressure (up to 40 bar) NF is a highly sustainable, versatile
