Case study

55 m³/h Dilute Lactic Acid Membrane Concentration

This 55 m³/h project processes dilute lactic acid liquor. The membrane stage recovers and concentrates dilute lactic acid. Permeate is reused and concentrate proceeds to evaporation. This case and the 15 m³/h lactic-acid NF case document different sections at the same plant.

Process roles

The membrane stage recovers and concentrates dilute lactic acid. Permeate is reused and concentrate proceeds to evaporation. This case and the 15 m³/h lactic-acid NF case document different sections at the same plant.
