Membrane Filtration Systems
GEA Filtration is experienced in processing a wide range of products on a
commercial basis and by testing products at the plant site or in our pilot
plant testing facility.
Our Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Mission
Statement
GEA Filtration’s goal within the biotechnology industry is to
become a technology partner with the customer on any and all projects involving
membrane filtration and thereby improving the customer’s product yield, quality
and cost-effectiveness of their process operations.
Pharmaceutical / Biotechnology Applications
Cell
harvesting or biomass recovery is an important step in any fermentation
process, especially when manufacturing bulk intermediates such as antibiotics.
Membrane filtration has successfully replaced separation methods such as rotary
vacuum filters or centrifugation in many plants by significantly improving
product yields and reducing operator involvement and maintenance costs.
Membranes are also a standard part of industrial enzyme manufacturing lines to
concentrate the enzymes prior to further downstream processing.
Other applications include
- Enzyme and Protein Processing
- Purification and concentration of amino acids
- Protein purification and recovery.
- Concentration and de-mineralization of blood plasma
- Peptide concentration
- Bacillus Thuringensis
- Somatatropin
- Bacitracin
- Penicillin
- Cephalosporin
- Lysozyme
- Streptomycin
- Tetracycline
- Lactic Acid Production
- Butyric Acid Production
- Citric Acid Production
- Acetic Acid Production Protease Enzyme
- Cellulase Enzyme
- Peroxidase Enzyme
- Phytase enzyme cell separation and purification
GEA Filtration is a world leader in cGMP membrane filtration with
microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis as core
technologies in pharma and biotech separation / purification processes.
