Concentration and Purification After Cultivation or Fermentation

Comprehensive Solutions for Post-Cultivation and Fermentation Issues

The following challenges may arise in concentration and purification processes after cultivation and fermentation:

• Frequent loss of enzymes during concentration and purification leads to increased raw material costs.
• Use and disposal of filter aids increase operating costs.
• Frequent maintenance required for each filtration cycle causes shortages in manpower and time.

Microza® addresses these challenges with the following features:

• Low-Cost Operation
  No filter aids required, reducing purchase and disposal costs. High-efficiency filtration is achieved even at low linear velocity, lowering energy costs.
• Improved Quality and Yield
  Stable separation performance with hollow fiber membranes minimizes leakage of target substances and reduces the burden on subsequent purification steps.
• Automation and Labor Saving
  Membranes and system design with excellent durability and chemical resistance reduce cleaning and maintenance workload, alleviating manual labor.
• Reduced Risk of Product Deterioration
  Low linear velocity separation reduces physical stress on cells and products, protecting the quality of precision fermentation products.

With these features, Microza® solves complex issues in post-cultivation and fermentation processes and supports efficient and stable process operation.

Efficiency and Environmental Consideration Beyond Other Filtration Methods and Centrifugation

Compared to other filtration methods and centrifugation, Microza® offers advantages in the following aspects:

• Reduced Workload and Labor Saving: Simplified operations through automated systems.
• Cost Reduction: No filter aids required and improved energy efficiency reduce operating costs.
• High-Quality, Low-Stress Separation: Gentle handling of cells and enzymes under low linear velocity conditions.
• Environmental Impact Reduction: Elimination of filter aids reduces waste. Also supports resource recovery from concentrated residue for environmental improvement. (For more details, click here)
• Large Membrane Area: The hollow fiber structure offers a high membrane area per unit volume, enabling compact systems with low power consumption.
• Scalability: System configurations can be designed per membrane module. Specialized staff support scalable system design.
