Transforming Milk into Value with Membrane-Driven Precision
With over 30 years of expertise in spiral membrane technology for dairy, Permionics delivers high-performance membrane systems that help processors concentrate, fractionate, and standardize dairy streams with precision and efficiency. From whey to skim milk, our solutions unlock higher yields, improved consistency, and premium-quality output that exceeds global dairy standards.
Beyond processing, our membrane-based effluent treatment systems offer a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to traditional wastewater methods — reducing environmental impact while maximizing resource recovery.

Key Challenges Solved
- Variability in milk quality and composition
- Low protein yields from traditional concentration methods
- Inefficient or energy-intensive ash removal
- High effluent treatment costs and ecological footprint
- Inconsistent standardization in milk production
Our Solutions
Permionics spiral-wound membranes in UF, NF, and RO configurations are engineered specifically for the demands of dairy processing. Our offerings include:
- Whey protein concentration and fractionation
- Concentration and standardization of whole and skimmed milk
- Ash removal and demineralization of whey and milk permeates
- High-recovery wastewater treatment and reuse solutions
- Modular systems for scale flexibility and easy CIP integration
