Types of ultrafiltration plant are described grouped under tubular and plate and frame concepts. The desirable features of UF plant are defined as low process costs, hygienic operation and precise membrane characteristics and each of these is discussed. In relation to hygienic operation the importance of time and temperature of operation as well as general plant design is stressed and it is concluded that UF plants can be operated hygienically. Applications to whey processing is described and emphasis is placed on lactose ultrafiltration to produce an economically viable process; hydrolysis by beta galactosidase is suggested. Application to skim milk processing is also described.
