Homogenisation and membrane processing

In his latest technical commentary, Mike Lewis explores how dairies can assess homogenisation efficiency using practical techniques, including centrifugation, light microscopy and particle size distribution analysis. He also considers membrane processing, including flux, fouling, cleaning, microbial growth and how a cryoscope could be used to monitor membrane performance.

Mike also shares details of his latest IJDT research paper on fouling and flux decline during the ultrafiltration of milk at high temperatures.
