| DESCRIPTION |
The company used ACHEMA to exhibit its plate-and-frame cross-flow membrane filtration module, M39. It consists essentially of a frame containing a series of parallel flat-sheet membranes mounted on plates. "The modules are fitted with a range of Alfa Laval membranes made of different polymers--cellulose acetate, triacetate, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or fluoropolymers," explained Gary Lloyd, an account manager at the firm's office in Copenhagen, Denmark. "The membranes are based on a unique construction of polypropylene support material." Thomas Zachrisson, a general manager at Alfa Laval in Tumba, Sweden, pointed out that the modules are suitable for ultrafiltration and microfiltration of highly viscous products and fermentation broths and were developed for duties in the processing of antibiotics, enzymes, blood products, and yeast extracts. The membrane filtration unit is available in membrane areas up to 645 sq ft and can handle operating temperatures up to 80 °C and pH values between 1 and 14. It can be built into systems suitable for either continuous or batch production |
