Vacaturetekst
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.
