“…Consequently, it is possible to advantageously replace single use complex formulations with a re-used NaOH solution having both low g and low SS for cleaning UF membranes fouled with skimmed milk and likely with whey proteins (Daufin et al, 1991). CIP with re-used NaOH could therefore be coupled with a removal operation of SS by MF, UF or NF, which are more efficient than centrifugation (Alvarez, 2003;Dresch et al, 1999;Dresch, Daufin, & Chaufer, 2001).…”
