| Zusammenfassung: | A new design of cross-flow filtration unit, the Transep filter, has been investigated for the separation of slurries of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Porous cylindrical sintered stainless steel tubes of 2 mu m and 3 mu m nominal pore size ratings were used as filter media. Filtration rates were measured for cell suspensions ranging from 3 to 25 kg m super(-3). The 3 mu m filter produced particle-free filtrates at average rates from 1 multiplied by 25 m super(3) m super(-2) h super(-1) which declined to half this value over the range of cell concentrations studied. |
