In this example, VMF is used for an extracellular clarification process, where the fermentation broth is processed directly to a clear, and a cleaned API/protein is achieved.
Description:
Due to the unique VMF technology, this setup can also be used for intracellular clarification, with a lysing step between the harvest tank and the VMF unit.
Traditional clarification involves several unit operations, each complicated and causing yield loss. VMF eliminate these steps, uses significantly less energy, requires less manual labor, has a small foot print, and uses less water and CIP chemicals.
- Handling of high solids loads and viscosities
- High transmission due to unique separation process control
- Low shear process
