DPTC has been established as a centre of excellence for dairy processing research and innovation. The Centre will help to fuel growth in the Irish dairy sector by performing research focused on cost-efficient processing, facilitating a step-change in environmental sustainability, and creating, validating, and commercializing a pipeline of science and technology-based manufacturing platforms for dairy ingredients.
The foundation of the DPTC is a strong, long-term industry–academic collaborative partnership that will develop, build, and translate the knowledge and capabilities in dairy processing that are needed today and for the long-term growth development of the sector. DPTC, established as a centre of excellence for dairy processing research and innovation, plays a crucial role in supporting the growth of the Irish dairy sector. It conducts research with a strong emphasis on cost-effective processing, strives to significantly enhance environmental sustainability, and actively works on developing, validating, and commercializing a range of science and technology-based manufacturing platforms for dairy ingredients. The cornerstone of DPTC is a robust, enduring collaboration between industry and academia. This partnership is committed to acquiring, expanding, and applying knowledge and capabilities in dairy processing. These efforts are geared towards addressing both present-day needs and fostering long-term growth and development within the dairy sector.
TCD team is focusing on developing sustainable processes for the efficient recovery of nutrients, such as phosphate and nitrogen, from dairy processing wastewater, as well as the valorisation of the recovered by-products. The project involves an initial bench-scale evaluation of various technologies for phosphate and nitrogen removal.
