DuPont announced the launch of FilmTec Hypershell?? XP RO-8038 element--an advanced reverse osmosis (RO) solution engineered to meet the evolving needs of the dairy processing industry. As dairy producers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and maintain high product quality, FilmTec??
Hypershell?? XPRO-8038 element supports the production of high-quality dairy products that meet consumer demands for both performance and nutritional value. Designed specifically for the concentration and polishing of dairy process streams--including milk, whey, and lactose--this new RO element delivers exceptional performance, energy savings, and operational longevity.
Advancements to the membrane performance are providing up to 50% higher productivity and flow, or up to 50% less energy demand when operating at the same flux as other dairy membrane elements on the market, reducing both energy consumption as well as operating costs. Designed to enhance the product quality and yield for milk, whey, and dairy streams, the element also supports higher recovery rates in polishing systems, creating less wastewater. Its extended membrane life and reduced replacement frequency contribute to lower overall costs.
Furthermore, the FilmTec?? Hyperhell?? XP RO- 8038 element can ensure lower CAPEX and OPEX through higher efficiency and reduced chemical usage.
DuPont introduced the new reverse osmosis element to the market at the Membrane Technology Forum USA--a conference hosted by Dairy Foods showcasing innovations in commercial membrane technology. Dr. Jie Song, a Lead Research Scientist with DuPont, presented research on the cost-effectiveness of FilmTec?? HypERShell??
XP RO-2038 element, and how the innovative chemistry and element design can provide significant improvement on productivity and energy savings without sacrificing product quality.
