Purification in-depth: cleaning of I&I ultrafiltration systems

Industrial Cleaning refers to cleaning in commercial, mostly large-scale food- and nonfood-industry. This requires effective ingredients that fulfill specific requirements for each application and that are safe for the labour and the environment.

Ultrafiltration processes are extensively practised to separate or purify solutions and emulsions. Especially the dairy industry uses ultrafiltration for the separation of milk proteins and lipids from water and lactose. Apple juice clarification, water purification and waste water treatment are additional application fields where ultrafiltration processes are playing an important role.

To assure that these filtrations proceed on a consistently high qualitative level, regularly cleaning cycles of the ultrafiltration membranes are essential.

Cognis Care Chemicals supports efficient cleaning of membranes and provides cleaning system formulators with great solutions to keep the processes running efficiently by serving the green cleaning movement at the same time. Cleaning process
