Soya Processing
Energy-Efficient Protein Purification Through Advanced Membrane Technology
Permionics enables next-generation soya protein processing through innovative membrane systems that deliver high-yield, cost-effective purification. Our solutions eliminate the need for thermal or chemical processes—ensuring the recovery of high-purity proteins and alcohols with minimal environmental impact.

Key Challenges Solved
- High energy costs in conventional concentration techniques
- Loss of protein yield and quality during thermal processing
- Difficulty separating sugars, minerals, and free fatty acids
- Inefficient alcohol recovery from soy concentrate production
- Environmental burden of wastewater from traditional processes
Our Solutions
Our customized membrane systems are engineered to address every step in the soya protein value chain:
- UF/NF membranes for concentrating soy proteins up to 95%
- Deashing and sugar removal for purer protein isolates
- Microfiltration for broth clarification and impurity removal
- Solvent-stable membranes for alcohol recovery from soy processing
- Water recovery systems from chromatography or SMB units
- Low-energy evaporation alternatives via membrane diafiltration
