Abstract:
The present invention provides for a method for separating starch from processing solutions containing starch containing plants or roots such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, corn, tapioca, yams, cassaya, sago, rice, pea, broad bean, horse bean, sorghum, konjac, rye, buckwheat and barley to provide commercially acceptable starch while reducing disposal of solid or liquid waste matter into landfills or water treatment facilities.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for separating water from starch milk, the method comprising the steps of:\n (a) providing a starch milk liquid-type medium, wherein the liquid-type medium is a viscous liquid, non-viscous liquid, a suspension or an emulsion; (b) providing at least one cross-flow filtration cassette comprising: an array of sheet members of generally rectangular and generally planar shape with main top and bottom surfaces, wherein the sheet members include in sequence in said array a first retentate sheet, a first filter sheet, a permeate sheet, a second filter sheet, and a second retentate sheet, wherein fatty acids and triglycerides, having a diameter larger than the filter sheet's pore size, are retained in the retentate flow, and at least a portion of the liquid-type medium with any permeate species diffuse through the filter sheets and enter the permeate sheet and permeate flow; and (c) directing the liquid-type medium through the cross-flow cassette to separate water from the starch component.
