Applications: The used Alfa Laval MBPX 810SGV-34CL is used for removing suspended solids with particle sizes of approx 0,5 to 500 μm from a liquid having lower density than the solids. The solids content is usually in the range of 0,1 to 20% by volume. The main applications are bacteria separations, rDNA products, enzymes, cell cultures and vaccines. The maximum process capacity of the machine is 10 m3/h.
