Description
Summary:Membrane technologies available for high-temperature processing applications are discussed. The technology discussed is reverse osmosis and its benefits and drawbacks. Sanitation of an RO system using hot water involves incorporating heat exchangers into the traditional clean-in-place system. A primary use for hot-water RO sanitation is the inactivation of viable microbes.
