Ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration membranes have a pore size distribution from 1,000…500,000 Dalton (1…500 KD) and therefore offer a huge variety of fractionation possibilities.
UF technology enables the concentration of components with higher molecular weight without additional energy input and therefore are applied in numerous technology steps for a wide range of applications:
Concentration
- Whey proteins
- Enzymes
- Bio-pharmaceutical products (proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, nucleic acids)
- Milk
- Fruit juices
Fractionation
- Proteins from salts
- Colour molecules (anthocyanins) from sugars
- Proteins from peptides
- Oil from water
Clarification
- Fermentation broth
- Cell homogenate
- Beer
- Wine
- Fruit juices
Stabilisation
- Water
- Fruit juices
- Bio-pharmaceutical products
- Wine
