Process Filtration Systems

Valcour Process Technologies offers a complete range of Process Filtration Systems from Complete Filtration Resources, Inc for the Cheese, Dairy, and Food Process Markets.

These systems utilize Cross flow filtration technology - a process whereby liquid is filtered through a porous membrane while the feed solution flows rapidly across the surface of the membrane. Cross flow filtration results in turbulence at the surface of the membrane, this serves to keep the membrane from becoming plugged while filtering large volumes of feed solution. Cross flow filtration is often referred to as tangential flow filtration because the feed solution flow is tangential to the surface of the membrane. In this process the clarified solution is called the filtrate or permeate while the concentrated solution that exits the membrane is the concentrate.
