Food Ingredients Purification

From process development to guaranteed purification plants

We design and develop processes and purification technologies and also provide industrial systems with guaranteed performance for the purification and production of food ingredients, worldwide.

Our solutions for the purification of your food ingredients - your benefits

A Unique Expertise

For more than 40 years, we have been developing and constantly innovating our Applexion® processes to offer you cost-effective, reliable and high performance purification and production processes based on our unique palette of filtration membranes, chromatography and ion exchange/adsorption technologies, electrodialysis as well as multiple evaporation technologies.

Customized Purification Processes

We are flexible and adapt to our customers' requirements in terms of quality, design and construction. Our engineers design customized units, equipment or systems ideally suited to your facilities and specific process needs. We provide production plants or purification systems at the customer’s required scale and transfer the process.

Global Process Solution

Services provided with our systems include:

Feasibility studies
Process development, scale-up, optimization and validation
Piloting at your site or ours
Custom design and engineering
Qualification, installation and commissioning
Start-up and training
Customer/after sales services (maintenance contracts, spare parts)

Combined Technologies

Thanks to our strong expertise and broad technology portfolio, we provide global and integrated solutions by:

combining processes such as chromatography, membranes, ion exchange and adsorption, electrodialysis, catalytic reactions...,
integrating evaporation with optimized energy consumption, crystallization, concentration and storage of the final product.

Our expertise and unique process development capabilities allows us to supply you with complete turnkey plants for food ingredient purification including all necessary purification steps (decolorization, demineralization, separation, filtration...), with process performance guarantees.

Multiple Applications

Applexion® processes have been developed for many food ingredients.

Technologies

We own a unique palette of technologies developed and optimized for food ingredient production.
