Evaluation of different cleaning agents for the removal of membrane biofilms

Read the report: Evaluation of different cleaning agents for the removal of membrane biofilms About this report: Dairy concentration membranes are prone to biofouling, which leads to their reduced performance and also poses quality and food safety issues. This research looked into inhibiting and controlling biofilms on whey reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Conclusions: The studies conducted so far established the resistance of bacterial isolates in both planktonic and embedded state.… Continue Reading Evaluation of different cleaning agents for the removal of membrane biofilms

Modifications in the CIP protocols for removing biofilms on whey RO membranes

Read the report: Modifications in the CIP protocols for removing biofilms on whey RO membranes About this report: This report looks to evaluate a typical Common Industry Protocol, CIP, protocol against membrane biofilm isolates in planktonic and embedded states. Conclusions: The existing CIP protocol is inadequate to control membrane biofilms, and modifications such as enzyme cleaning step can help in improving its efficacy. Project Outcomes: The project findings will benefit… Continue Reading Modifications in the CIP protocols for removing biofilms on whey RO membranes
