Since membrane technology is a widely spread method for the filtration of milk products I am wondering which characterization method for membrane fouling of milk products is mainly applied in industry.
Two method used for this work , The name of one method (The mixed sample method) , tow method is called ( off-bottom test method ) both method depends on the comparison with standard discs . The result is rate of sediment .
I personally prefer the use of boundary flux measurements, directly on the lab and/or industrial plant. It opens a wide range of possibilities to fine tune controller systems to optimize the operating conditions.
