Abstract
A process for waste whey treatment, fully based on membrane technologies, has been studied and developed in a pilot plant scale, with the aim to recover chemicals from farm wastes (fats, whey proteins, lactose, salts and water). This process, described in its essential steps, includes a hollow fiber membrane reactor for the hydrolysis of lactose with an immobilized β-galactosidase. The bioreactor performances are studied, in a lab scale, with an entirely automated glucose monitoring system based on a flow injection analysis apparatus. The monitoring system shows interesting performances concerning signal stability, extended linearity (up to 150 mmol l-1) and long term monitoring (up to 3 months without manual operations). The performances of the glucose monitoring system are described. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
