Ideal system for every bacterial strain

Homogenisation

In the homogenisation step, the biomass is broken down and the enzymes are released. 

The homogenisation capacities in detail

Biotech

We have the following capacities in the Biotech division:

  • 2x 1000 l/ 1000 bar production

  • 120 l/ 1000 bar pilot plant

Homogenisation in our business field

Biotech

High-pressure homogenisers, such as those used in the biotech plant, are ideal for continuous disintegration of microorganisms. Rigid microorganisms such as Escherichia coli are very well homogenised. The homogenisation process follows the extraction of the bacterial concentrate. The available homogeniser operates at pressures of up to 1000 bar at a flow rate of up to 1000 litres per hour.

Precipitation

In order to increase the purity of the enzyme product or to improve subsequent filtration steps, it is possible to integrate a precipitation step into the production process.

Concentration

In the enzyme production process, ultrafiltration and diafiltration systems are used to concentrate the product and for buffer exchange respectively.

Filtration techniques

The  filtration system allows to remove the production organism or components thereof in the product, at the customer's request.
