The aim of this work is to characterize more accurately, through experimental or theoretical approaches, the hydrodynamics of three particular systems usually used for flux enhancement: shear-enhanced filtration with a vibrating membrane module, gas/liquid two-phase flows and Dean vortices. The corr

A vibratory shear-enhanced filtration system (VSEP) was used for the separation of casein micelles from whey proteins of skim milk reconstituted from low heat milk powder, which has a similar protein content as fresh milk. This paper compares the performances of microfiltration (MF) with a 0.1 µm po

Ultrafiltration of UHT skimmed milk has been carried out using a smooth disk and a disk equipped with 6-mm-high vanes rotating at high angular velocity T near a circular 50 kD membrane. Permeate turbidity was less than 2 NTU confirming complete casein micelles retention. The addition of vanes to the
