Tangential Flow Filtration: Industrial Principles and Fermentation Applications

Описание: This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) within the context of industrial fermentation, moving from foundational mechanics to advanced digital applications. It defines TFF as a pressure-driven separation process where fluid flows parallel to the membrane to mitigate, though not entirely prevent, the accumulation of debris and fouling. The discussion details the critical interplay between operating parameters like transmembrane pressure and crossflow velocity, emphasizing that improper balance can lead to irreversible membrane damage or cell lysis. Beyond basic hardware, the sources explore specific applications in microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and diafiltration for product clarification and concentration. Finally, the text highlights the shift toward digital-twin technology and AI to predict fouling regimes and optimize processing stability in complex biological environments.
