Comparing with traditional technology in fermentation broth filtration, Suntar Flow-Cel separation technology can get the better filtrate quality with lower running cost. Nearly 500 sets of Flow-Cel UF system with a total membrane area up to ten thousands of square meters have been sold and installed, handling a capacity over 100,000 tons per day.
In 2007, Suntar upgraded the Flow-Cel system, the effective membrane area has been increased by nearly 43% under constant hydraulic conditions, which remarkably reduces the client’s investment cost. The new designed system is compatible to the original version, to ensure an easy and direct upgrade for the clients applying the original version. There are no system adaptations required for the switch from the original Flow-Cel system to the newly developed Flow-Cel unit.
Principal Features
 The molecular weight cutoff is available from 10,000 to 200,000 and offering higher rejection compared to inorganic membranes Eliminating concentration polarization, avoiding clog and allowing easy cleaning Specially suitable for the treatment of high viscosity fluids or high suspended solids Separate operation or shutdown of individual modules in the system are possible The minimum membrane area for inspection or replacement is only 0.1m 2, allowing low membrane replacement cost for accidental damage Easy expansion for systems from Bench Top scale to Pilot and Production, full automatic control is easily realized
Application Fields
Antibiotics (penicillin, cephalosporin, erythromycin, colistin sulphate, gibberellin, etc.) Vitamins (Vitamin C, B2, B12, etc.) Amino Acids (lysine, L-phenylalanine, valine, isoleucine, glutamic acid, etc.) Organic Acids (lactic, citric, itaconic, polyprotic acids, etc.) Enzyme Preparations (Concentration and Purification of Various Enzymes) Bio-pesticides (Ninanmycin, Polyoxorim, Kasugamycin, etc.) Enzyme Reactions (acrylamide, hydroxyphenyl glycine etc.) Other Fermentation Processes or Feeds with High viscosity or SS
