Five years of research in the laboratory and pilot plant have culminated in the successful design and operation of a full-scale commercial system for the processing of 100,000 Ib of fluid whole milk per 8-hr day during the past year. This plant is fully automated (except for re-use of regenerant), constructed of stainless steel and other approved dairy industry materials meeting sanitary requirements. The process employs the fixed-bed ion-exchange principle based on results from a
