Integrated engineering approach validating reduced water and energy consumption in milk processing for wider food supply chain replication
In the field of collaborative research, Fraunhofer IGB is coordinating the EnReMilk project, which is being funded under the “Knowledge-based Bioeconomy - KBBE” subject area. Fifteen European partners are working together on optimizing novel water-and energy-saving technologies and integrating them into selected dairy processing lines, while maintaining the quality and safety of the corresponding products. All the process steps will be examined, and the potentials of a vast array of technologies will be analyzed using process modelling tools.
