40 m³/h Integrated Membrane Processing for Inulin Extract

This 40 m³/h project processes chicory and Jerusalem artichoke extracts. Tubular UF clarifies the extract. NF separates salts and monosaccharides while concentrating inulin; a separate high-pressure RO stage concentrates the monosaccharide branch.
