BBEPP – Mechanical separations

BBEPP disposes of various mechanical separation unit operations at different scales and with different variations. BBEPP has different cross-flow membrane filtration units for micro, ultra and nanfiltration with different membrane types: spiral wound, hollow fiber and ceramic filtration. Other filtration operations are present, such as dead-end filtration units (plate and frame filters, candle filters), filter presses, rotary vacuum drum filter, and a basket filter.

Centrifugation steps are available on batch- or continuous scale, with different capacities: High speed disc stack centrifuges (500-3000 L/h), screw decanter centrifuge (750 kg/h), basket centrifuges (10-40 kg per batch), and an inverting filter centrifuge (50 kg/product cycle).
