Tangential flow filtration system - Tytan
A completely customizable pilot and industrial system – the Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) TYTAN. The tangential flow filtration or cross flow filtration TYTAN develops a process in which unfiltered product (retentate) flows tangentially across a membrane surface. Any dissolved or undissolved permeate component smaller than the membrane passes through it, while larger suspended particulates remain in the retentate flow.
Features:
- Ceramic and polymeric membranes are available in pore sizes from 0.04µm to 1.2µm
- Up to 12 modules are available
- Stainless steel (AISI 316 and AISI 304) manufacturing
- 21,5” HMI touch panel
- Pre-filter (strainer)
- Dry running protection over- and under-pressure protection
- Automatic backwash
Additional Features:
- Turnkey: starting from the clients’ URS, Solaris manufactures tailored TFF solutions, to be applied to the recovery and separation of biotechnological products in downstream operations.
- Reliability: with TYTAN, customers benefit from custom-designed vessels with smart sensor technology integrated for optimal process workflow.
- Filtration Membranes: our filtration specialists are always ready to suggest the best membrane in terms of materials, geometrical configuration and operative parameters to: concentrate on the best efficiency, avoid gel layer problem, optimize the cost/profit ratio, minimize scale up cost.
- The Systems: the systems are fully suitable for inline CIP and compliant to the most current GMP regulations and PED standards. The measurement and control system is based on a SCADA supervisory Lab View, SFC-10, connected to a PLC.
Software:
- Innovative SCADA software LEONARDO 3.0: a smart and user-friendly controller designed to provide a high level of automated management of the fermentation/cultivation processes.
