✦ Synopsis

suNMARY

Non-cellulosic membranes are now available which allow a 30-70% passage of sodium chloride but with good retention of materials with a molecular weight greater than 350. These have many uses and a full-scale commercial plant for the concentration and partial concentration of cheese whey is described. This reduces the load on downstream demineralisers in the production of demineralised whey powder for baby foods.

Other applications in the food, dye and healthcare industries are also discussed.
