Ultrafiltration cassette for viscous media

05 March 2009

Microdyn-Nadir GmbH has developed the FLOW-CEL® module, a cassette system for the ultrafiltration of highly viscous media in processes such as fermentation.

The FLOW-CEL module has a membrane area of 10m² and a 10kDa molecular weight cut-off and is designed to filter protein-containing liquids with high solids content. This includes not just fermentation processes, but all protein-concentration applications with a high amount of solids, such as cream cheese.

Microdyn-Nadir's cassette system can clean by permeate-sided backwashing. This increases the cleaning effectiveness and saves chemicals, time, and manpower.
 
The FLOW-CEL filter has a modular design with different feed side height levels which allows the system to be modified based on the particular needs of each operator.
