Performance evaluation of whey flux in dead-end and cross-flow modes via convolutional neural networks

Effluent originating from cheese production puts pressure onto environment due to its high organic load. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to compare the influence of different process variables (transmembrane pressure (TMP), Reynolds number and feed pH) on whey protein recovery from sy...
