Decanter Centrifuge: Efficient Protein Separation and Cost Savings
Challenges in Protein Separation Projects
With the rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry, protein separation has become a key challenge for many biotech companies. In the protein production process, ensuring that the separated proteins have high purity and recovery rates is crucial for determining product quality and economic efficiency. However, traditional separation methods often suffer from low efficiency, high protein loss, and complex operation. To meet stringent quality requirements and improve production efficiency, a large biopharmaceutical company chose ZK SEPARATION's decanter centrifuge technology to address this challenge.
Highly Efficient and Low-energy Protein Separation Solutions
The company needs to separate large quantities of proteins in their daily production, but conventional separation equipment cannot meet the demands for high purity and high recovery. They urgently needed a solution that could accurately and efficiently separate proteins from mixtures while ensuring continuous and stable operation. Additionally, the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment were major concerns for the company.
Project Overview
- Contractor: A large food processing company
- Capacity: 1,000 liters/hour
- Feed Composition: Proteins 10%, Liquids 90%
- Separation Efficiency: Protein recovery rate 97%
- Operation mode: 24-Hour continuous operation
