Vacancy description

At the Veghel site, we produce Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), a high-protein ingredient derived from caseinate whey—a by-product of caseinate production. The production process involves multiple filtration steps, starting with Reverse Osmosis (RO) to concentrate the whey, followed by Ultrafiltration (UF) to increase protein content while removing lactose and minerals.

To optimize the WPC production line, we aim to increase the dry matter content achieved during RO. This internship will focus on investigating how higher dry matter levels affect the UF process. You will analyze the impact on UF performance and explore how process parameters can be adjusted to maintain product specifications.

Staying true to who you really are, that is your starting point at FrieslandCampina. Because it is precisely by embracing our differences that we can grow together. We want to create a working environment that allows all employees to bring their best and authentic selves. If who we are suits you, but you're not sure if you're the best fit for the role, we still encourage you to apply so we can help you find the role that fits you best.
