Largest ultrafiltration plant

Memtech (UK) has recently completed the installation and commissioning of one of the largest ultrafiltration plants of its kind at Synpac's fermentation plant in Northumberland. The UF plant is an 8-stage-in-series crossflow membrane filtration system used to clarify fermentation broth. A feature of the UF system is its ability to run in 'carousel' mode, allowing any one stage to be taken off-line for cleaning without the need to shut down the rest of the process
