The invention deals with a process used for Cheese whey treatment and valorisation. The plant where this process is applied includes three main components - an ultrafiltration unit, a bioreactor and a destillation unit. Final products of this process are a whey protein concentrate and ethanol. Ultrafiltration and distillation units are similar to the ones being used in other cheese whey treatment plants. The innovative characteristics of this process lie on the design of the bioreactor and its operation mode and on the microorganism being used. The bioreactor, with a total volume of 1000 l ...
