COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALATION USED FOR THE SEPARATION OF PROTEIN AND LACTOSE FROM BUTTERMILK

Journal Title: EcoTerra (Journal of Environmental Research and Protection) - Year 2009, Vol 22, Issue 22

Abstract

The buttermilk obtained from the milk industry represents from many years, a major problem for the treatment of industrial wastewaters, due to its highly content in proteins and sugars. Through several processes, the unwanted substances are removed from the buttermilk and some of them are transformed in useful substances for food and fertilisers. The separation of the various substances from the buttermilk is realised by protein hidrolisation processes, filtration processes and reverse osmosis. In this paper we will simulate, with computer help, a reverse osmosis instalation used for the separation of proteines and lactose from the buttermilk.
