Brine recovery in the codfish industry

Established in 1987, nowadays Lugrade is a solid high-profile company, the main activity of which is a transformation and commercialization of the Dry Salted Codfish and its by- products. Since then the strategy for the company growth is based on the reinforcement of its position in the national market and conquering the international ones by commercialization of the high quality products under the “Lugrade” brand.

The reuse of cod brine using ceramic ultrafiltration systems allows the re-use of the brine, which means a great saving of production costs, while achieving a perfect sanitization of the product, all in a single step and without consumption of chemicals. Maintenance and operational costs are significantly reduced.
