dramatically reduces degradation

caused by chlorine, signicantly

extending service life. HpHT UF

elements allow cleaning at high

temperatures and high pH, often

eliminating the need for chlorine.

KMS high-rejection RO elements

typically exhibit greater than 99.9%

COD rejection, while our SR3D NF

membranes excel in demineralizing

and concentrating proteins and lactose.

Chemical Recovery

Membranes can be used to recover

expensive acid and caustic from CIP

streams, helping you reduce operat-

ing costs and comply with regulatory

requirements. Membranes clarify the

cleaning solution to remove suspend-

ed and dissolved solids so the treated

solutions can be reused.

KMS offers the SelRO line of

chemically stable NF membranes

for caustic and acid streams. SelRO

membranes have excellent long-term

stability in efuent solutions such

as sodium hydroxide, potassiumhydroxide, phosphoric acid, and nitric

acid at concentrations of 10% or more.

They can handle the job with ease,

and save you time and money in the

long run.

Water Recovery

Consistent high-quality water

production is essential in all dairy

processing operations. Without

adequate treatment, reusing process

water streams can reintroduce

contaminants and pathogens into

your products. We understand the

challenges well, and have long been

supplying solutions to overcome them.

KMS membranes are widely used in

dairies to produce clean, safe CIP

water while reducing water usage and

operating costs. Our designsadhere

to strict purication standards, and are

known industry-wide for their durabilitywhich results in a higher ROI.

Brine Recovery

Salting by brine immersion is used

in many varieties of cheese. Brine

disposal has become an increasingly

costly and environmentally challenging

issue for cheese manufacturers.

KMS membrane ltration technologiesreliably remove protein, fat, yeast, and

mold. Time-tested and widely used,

these systems will allow you to clarify

and recover brine, while maintaining

the avor and quality of your cheeses.

The Market

Membranes for Whey Processing

Whey Concentration

After cheese making the resultant whey can be concentrated using

membranes, providing a protein enriched stream ahead of the evapo-

ration and drying process. Ultraltration is the standard process for

the production of 35 to 90% of whey protein concentrate. RO can

be used downstream to concentrate the UF permeate to produce

lactose or permeate powder. When producing cheeses that generate

signicant volumes of salt whey, a nanoltration step can be added

to partially desalt the stream, thus increasing the volume of recov-

erable whey solids. Partially desalted whey can then supplement

the primary whey stream and be sent to the UF system for protein

concentration prior to evaporation and drying.

Weve put our experience to work to create a wide selection

of spiral ultrafiltration elements that are ideal for dairy

processing, including the first ultrafiltration system ever built

for the production of whey protein concentrate.

Ultrafltration

KMS offers a wide selection of

sanitary spiral ultraltration elements

with 5,000 and 10,000 molecular

weight cut-off that are ideal for milk

and whey concentration, production

of whey isolates, and milk standard-

ization. These products are made of

polyethersulfone (PES) membrane

polymer and are designed to

conform to USDA 3A standards and

FDA regulations.

The dairy industry benchmark for

protein recovery are the standard

HFK-131 and HFK-328 UF element

lines, which offer long life and stable

productivity. They operate effectively

over a wide pH range and can be

continuously run at 131 F (55 C).

HpHT-HFK Ultraltration

In 2001 KMS introduced High pH

and High Temperature (HpHT)

UF elements into the HFK family.

These elements can be cleaned at

temperatures as high as 185 F (85

C) and at a pH of 12.5. This enables

dairies to eliminate the use of chlorine

in many processes, thereby avoiding

the difculties

associated with handling it and rinsing

it from the elements. The elements

are manufactured with proprietary

materials selected and developed

specically for use under extreme

conditions while providing higher

productivity than competing products.

Ultrafltration

Te KMS system and the XL-1000

membranes are so durable, dependable and

easy to maintain that our operators can

focus on the two other key processes, the

evaporators and pasteurizers.

Glue lines that are chemical-resistant,

mechanically tough, and blister-resis-

tant provide longer, more consistent

life and better sanitation.

Maximized Membrane Area

Automated adhesive application and

controlled element rolling result in

straight and consistent glue seams for

higher element productivity and better

sanitation.
