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

        Utilizing Ash as a Nutrient Source for Corn

          Land application of industrial materials and by-products has been common for decades. Recent expansion of the biofuel industry has resulted in significantly large quantities of these by-products, like dried distillers’ grains (DDG) and solubles. Utilizing these by-products is critical to the future success, profitability, and sustainability of the biofuel industry. This study was funded by the United States Department of Energy.
