Breakthrough Technology will Produce Green Proteins Greener - Next Generation Membrane Filtration Systems are the Key

SiccaDania Filtration and the SiccaDania group will supply key technology for a protein factory in Hedensted, Denmark, for the extraction of green proteins from fava beans. A number of Danish investors and global supplier of plant-based ingredients Meelunie will invest 250 million DKK in the factory. A new membrane filtration solution offers a wide range of advantages over traditional systems.

LeanFlux® is a brand new developed, next-generation membrane filtration system that create significant reductions in operating costs, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. The technology is patent-pending and challenges the well-known MF/UF membrane filtration plants, which have been used as a standard solution in the dairy and food industry for decades.

SiccaDania Filtration, a subsidiary of the SiccaDania Group, will deliver LeanFlux processors for the new factory, Meelunie GPI A/S, in Hedensted, Denmark. This is the company’s first major order for LeanFlux and in addition, so-called RO plants are supplied for efficient evaporation of residual products, as well as recycling of process water.

The driver behind the factory project is the desire to increase the local production of proteins to ensure a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and to contribute to the green transition of the agriculture sector. LeanFlux sets a new standard for efficient extraction of green proteins from fava beans and the production will replace soybeans from South America and protein powder from China.
