Low-contaminated wastewater from the food industry has a high potential for
reuse. Horst Chmiel, Valko Mavrov: and Eric Belieres from the University o
f Saarland, Germany describe how vapour condensate from milk processing can
be reused as boiler make-up water, by using a process combination involvin
g pretreatment (cartridge filtration and UV disinfection) and two membrane
stages (nanofiltration).
