RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We work with well-respected research entities, including universities, scientific institutes and technology parks, providing technical and technological support and business partners, working towards the development of the research area involving the fractionation of food ingredients, including extracting what is most valuable from food.

Bioactive substances are essential nutrients naturally occurring in food that affect the physiological and metabolic functions of the body. These include vitamins, peptides, enzymes, specific proteins and amino acids. The extraction of bioactive compounds requires complex and sophisticated technologies, with precisely chosen parameters aimed at interfering as little as possible with the biochemical nature of the substance.

For these reasons membrane filtration is used in the fractionation of food ingredients, forming an essential part of the complete technological process. We are currently actively involved in research projects based on modern technologies.

Among our finished projects, a significant share is made up of remote control equipment dedicated to research on the laboratory scale, as well as on the semi-technical scale. For many years, we have supported R&D units by offering ‘tailor-made’ tools based on membrane technology, often multifunctional, offering tests of multiple processes on a single piece of equipment.

Examples:

Multi-function membrane remote control:

• Membranes used: SPIRAL WOUND, CERAMIC AND HOLLOW FIBER in one. It provides process capability for all types of membrane filtration using multiple membrane types – both low and high pressure.
• Compact design – its size allows it to be transported in the boot of a passenger car
• Something designed for laboratory-scale testing, with R&D units, research institutes and universities in mind.

2in1 remote control – equipped with modules for ceramic and polymer membranes

• The use of 2 membrane types in a single item gives the possibility to run processes adapted to different applications.
• Compact and mobile – the size of the item makes it easy to transport.
• It has been designed for laboratory scale tests for a research institute, dedicated to dairy products and derivatives.

MF ceramic remote control

• Equipped with a 3-membrane module, suitable for semi-technical scale tests, with continuous and batch operation capability.
• Automatic systems equipped with control and parameter measurement tools.
• Compact and mobile – the size of the item makes it easy to transport.

3-in-1 spiral remote control MF, UF, NF – biotechnology sector

• Equipped with 3 modules and membranes of different types – MF, UF, NF
• It provides process capability for all types of membrane filtration, both low and high pressure.
• Automatic systems equipped with control and parameter measurement tools.
• Designed for commercial research in the biotechnology industry.

We have our own research and development centre, offering a number of pilot systems that allow technological trials to be conducted directly in a production environment. Our equipment is mobile, scalable and versatile in terms of performance as well as process selection.

We have all the infrastructure ready for industrial-scale testing. We also have analytical facilities, in which laboratory determinations can be performed.
