In last 20 years, ceramic membrane has seen great success in China pharmaceutical and fermentation industry. Traditional method for bacteria removal and clarification is to use filter press or centrifuge. Because of low quality filtrate,heavy waste discharge, high labor cost...API plants have changed the downstream process into ceramic membrane separation technology.
Ceramic membranes have been used widely in fermentation clarification, bioactive extraction such as:
● Fermentation Bio product
● Organic acid: L-Lactic,Citric acid ,Dicarboxylic acid,Carnine,Guanosine
● Amino acid: L- Lysine ,Glutamic ,Threonine ,Aspartame
● Enzyme: Phytase
● Other fermentation products
Process Advantages:
● High precision filtration
● High product yield
● Physical separation without chemical reaction
● No need for chemical agents
● Excellent chemical stability
● Simple extraction process
● Low production cost
● Less waste discharge
