Precipitation

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

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

Lactosan has three complete fermentation lines which are controlled by a process control system and can be fully sterilised.

Fermentation is followed by a concentration step using a separator.

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

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.
