Gelatin Recovery Process
The FLI Adamelia gelatin recovery process is primarily used for increasing the yield and improving the quality from the low-grade gelatin produced during the final extraction of limed ossein-derived gelatin solution.
The process requires the re-boiling of the final extract residue followed by chemical flocculation of the impurities. These impurities are then removed by the clarification process by means of a dissolved air flotation technique, whereby the insoluble impurities are quickly separated as floating sludge, leaving a clear supernatant liquor.
For further recovery of gelatine, the sludge from the clarification process may be pressed in a plate filter. This produces a solid cake as the only waste product. In addition to the value of recovered gelatine, the gelatine recovery process eliminates the production of wet sludge. This sludge usually imposes a significant load on a plant’s effluent treatment facility and results in high trade effluent costs.
Effluent Treatment
Our associated company FLI CAP Technology designs & installs turnkey effluent treatment plants for the food and gelatin industry.
