In this example, the fermentation broth containing E. coli bacteria has been harvested and concentrated directly from the harvest tank using VMF technology.
Description:
VMF is characterized by having very low flow resistance and being capable of uniform TMP, while being easy to clean and drain. Combined with the vibrations creating turbulence at the membrane surface, fouling is minimized, and concentration levels are only limited by the pumpability properties of the media. For products like E.coli, this means that exceptionally high concentration levels can be reached.
- Concentration to highest pumpable level
- High recovery – Minimal fouling
