The Alfa Laval membrane filtration systems will be used to recover and purify crop leftovers, mainly supplied from local farmers, and process it into prebiotic dietary fibre.

“This is an interesting order in a new and promising application for our membrane systems improving the circularity of the food chain,” said Nish Patel, president of Alfa Laval’s Food & Water Division. “Our efficient membranes will be able to extract valuable fibres and thereby turn former waste into sellable ingredients, which will benefit both our customer and the environment.”
