Ideal system for every bacterial strain

Separation

Fermentation is followed by a concentration step using a separator. Both the pipework and the separators are CIP and SIP capable. A concentration factor of 25-30 can be achieved. The wastewater from the process is chemically and thermally inactivated.

Separation in our business areas

Biotech

The biomass is separated from the supernatant using a sterilisable centrifuge with a capacity of 10,000 l/h. The flow rate can be adjusted between 100 - 6,000 l/h to suit the requirements of the product.

Microbial Additives

Four nozzle separators are available for separation in the Microbial Additives plant. By using different nozzle diameters, an optimum concentration result can be achieved for specific strains and the process yield can be kept high. A closed, sterilisable piping system transports the heavy phase to the concentrate tank where special additives are added to protect the cells during the freeze-drying process and to preserve viability.

Pharma

A qualified nozzle separator is available in the pharmaceutical plant for concentration. By using different nozzle diameters, optimum concentration and therefore high yield can be achieved in the process, depending on the strain. Both the pipework and the separator are CIP and SIP capable.

freeze-drying

The aim of freeze-drying is to obtain a dried, readily water-soluble product that retains the properties of the original product after the addition of water.
