Membrane Filtration Technology

Introduction to Membrane Filtration

Membrane filtration technology plays a pivotal role in the fermentation industry by facilitating the separation of solids from liquids. This process involves using microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes to remove macromolecules like mycelia, proteins, viruses, and pyrogens. Simultaneously, small metabolites, salts, and water pass through the membranes, allowing for a more refined separation. MecKey’s advanced equipment ensures this process is carried out efficiently, improving yield and product quality.

Advantages of Fermentation Liquid Membrane Separation

1. Room Temperature Processing: The conditions are mild, preventing damage to components, making it ideal for heat-sensitive substances.
2. Pure Physical Filtration: No phase change or qualitative change occurs, preserving the active components.
3. High Filtration Accuracy: Uniform aperture distribution ensures effective purification and concentration of fermentation liquids.
4. Simple Operation: The system is easy to operate, clean, and maintain, streamlining the process.
5. Efficiency and Cost Reduction: By concentrating the fermentation liquid, resin consumption is minimized, improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
6. Cross-Flow Operation: This design eliminates the need for filter aids and prevents new impurities, solving pollution blockage issues.
7. Modular Design: Convenient filter material replacement and online regeneration cleaning reduce labor intensity and production costs.
8. Automated PLC Control: Low labor intensity and clean production are achieved through automated control in a closed container.
9. Compact System: The large filling area of membrane filter elements allows the system to occupy a small footprint, facilitating technical improvement, expansion, or new projects.

Glucose Membrane Separation Technology

Process Overview

In glucose membrane separation, microfiltration or ultrafiltration is used to remove macromolecules while allowing glucose to pass through. The resulting glucose content reaches 99.5%, which can be used to produce VC grade sorbitol, food grade, and daily chemical grade sorbitol. This process improves product quality, omits the glucose crystallization process, and reduces costs.

Advantages of Glucose Membrane Separation

1. Mild Conditions: The process is conducted at room temperature, preventing damage to components.
2. Pure Physical Filtration: No phase or qualitative changes occur, maintaining the integrity of active components.
3. High Filtration Accuracy: Uniform aperture distribution ensures effective glucose purification.
4. Ease of Operation: The system is simple to operate, clean, and maintain.
5. Cross-Flow Operation: No need for filter aids, eliminating new impurities and solving blockage issues.
6. Modular Design: Easy filter material replacement and online regeneration cleaning reduce labor intensity and production costs.
7. Automated Control: Low labor intensity and clean production are achieved through automated PLC control in a closed container.
8. Compact System: The large filling area of membrane filter elements allows the system to occupy a small footprint, facilitating technical improvement, expansion, or new projects.
