Ultrafiltration module for high-viscosity products
In biotech and pharma industries, handling high-viscosity fermentations and broths requires sophisticated techniques for separation, concentration, and purification. Traditional methods often fall short in efficiency and scalability, posing significant operational challenges.
Optimize ultrafiltration and microfiltration processes
The M39L/H module by Alfa Laval is a leading plate-and-frame system designed specifically for ultrafiltration and microfiltration of high-viscosity products, ranging from 1 to 30 cP. With its advanced design, the module efficiently processes antibiotics, amino acids, organic acids, dextrans, and various industrial fermentations. Additionally, it is widely used in the food and beverage sector for dairy, gums, and sugar applications. The M39L/H module operates at temperatures up to 80°C and pressures up to 8 bar, accommodating pH levels between 1 and 14. The system boasts up to 60 m² membrane area and is available with either low (L) or high (H) channel plates. Key to its efficiency is the combination of a strong support layer and a selective layer in the membranes, allowing high flux rates and low energy consumption.
