Background
For production of fermentation products such as amino acid, anti-biotic, organic acid, etc, the cells, microorganism, protein, colloid should be first separated or filtered from the broth to get very clean liquid.
Traditional separators/filters such as Frame Filter Press, Rotate Vacuum Drum Filter (RVDF), Centrifuge are used for liquid-solid separation in this step. However, these filters can only roughly remove impurities with big size like mycelium, SS, but they are unable to fully separate the soluble protein, macro-molecule organic matters. Furthermore, the filtrate shows low transmittance with residual insolubility and soluble impurities which also increase the difficulty in downstream extraction process and have bad effect on quality and yield of target product.
