Concentration
I am an evaporator that is low cost, easy to build and am flexible for many applications. My drawback is I am relatively inefficient.
What is a Pan Evaporator.
I am a whey separator. What two products are my end result.
What are skim whey and whey cream.
I am the two types of membrane filtration that require high pressure.
What are RO and nanofiltration.
The portion that does not cross the membrane surface.
What is retentate.
Membrane that has pore sizes of 0.1 - 5 microns.
What are microfiltration membranes.
The three steps of evaporation.
What is addition of heat, liquid changes phase to vapor, vapor is removed.
I remove bacteria from milk.
What is a bactofuge.
This valve can be adjusted to set a desired retentate flow rate, thereby indirectly influencing the feed flow rate.
What is the retentate control valve or back pressure valve.
I have flow channels for permeate collection and adjustable channel height for different viscosities.
What is a plate and frame setup.
A set point in the PLC – changeable by the operator, calculated by dividing the concentrate flow by feed flow.
What is the system ratio or concentration factor.
The computation of total solids recovered, minus vapor lost is called what.
What is mass balance.
When using a separator these are taken out of the liquid phase.
What are suspended solids.
The measure of a membranes ability to keep particles.
What is retention.
Benchmark for a membrane's retention ability.
What is MWCO or Molecular Weight Cut Off.
Shared values, beliefs and norms that affect mind-set and behavior toward food safety in, across and throughout an organization.
What is Food Safety Culture.
Two of four ways that concentration can be done.
What is thermal evaporation, membrane, centrifugal and freeze dehydration.
The method used to separate solids from the liquid phase.
What is clarification.
Building a membrane using a polymer preparation of polysulfone, cast on to a non-woven support structure, is called:
What is phase inversion process.
The portion of product that crosses the membrane surface.
What is permeate.
Good Manufacturing Practice regulations are found where.
Where is CFR Title 21, 117 Subpart B.
Im the evaporator you would choose for highly viscous, heat sensitive or sticky fluids.
What is a scraped surface evaporator.
The order of separation by particle size, smallest to largest.
What is RO, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and microfiltration.
Critical to the amount of fluid that is being processed as well as membrane efficiency.
What is the flow rate.
I am the center of a spiral wound membrane.
What is the permeate tube.
