CERINOX® for crossflow microfiltration works according to the “batch principle”. While the unfiltrate is recirculated through the plant and the batch (feed) tank, filtrate is produced. Thanks to the batch tank, the concentration of the filtrate increases slowly so that the plant works only for a very short period with the maximum concentration. The specific flow rate is increased by this type of process. A semi-continuous operation can be achieved by substituting the volume of the filtrate by fresh feed slurry until the tank is filled with high-concentrate. Diafiltration can be applied for increasing extract yield and, hence, increasing the economical benefit. For this purpose, filtrate is substituted by deaerated water.
CERINOX® is a compact cross-flow filtration plant equipped with ceramic tubular membranes. There are standard units available as well as custom-designed installations. Different automation levels are available, from manually controlled units up to fully automated plants. The special design of the so-called dual-flow modules allows high packing density of filter surface, which leads to small footprints and lower heights of CERINOX® plants. Especially because of the latter, the CERINOX® is easy to maintain.
