Definitions
- a liquid feed flows tangentially over the surface of a filter material and is thereby split into a concentrate (retentate) stream and a filtrate (permeate) stream.
- microporous membranes are used which fall into the ultrafiltration and microfiltration classifications.
- Ultrafiltration membranes have average pores sizes that are capable of retaining macromolecules having a molecular weight between 500 and 1,000,000 Daltons, known in the filtration art as having a molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of 500 to 1,000,000 Daltons.
- MWCO molecular weight cutoff
- Microfiltration membranes exhibit average pore sizes of between 0.01 and 10 microns. See generally Chapter 4.3.3 in Gasper, Handbook of Industrial Solids/Fluids Filtration (1990).
- Retentate flowing over the surface of the separation membrane is typically recycled to flow over the membrane's surface repeatedly.
- the permeate which penetrates the membrane generally perpendicular to its surface is removed from the back side of the membrane.
- the target substances can be in either the permeate and/or the retentate.
- Cross-flow filtration units are often used in the form of filter cassettes, as described, for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,715,955 and in DE PS 34 41 249.
- Cassettes are comprised of a multiplicity of adjacent filter arrays, each array generally consisting of flat custom-cut sections of retentate spacers which form feed flow channels, a first single membrane layer, a spacer for the formation of a filtrate collection opening, and a second single membrane layer.
- Each feed flow channel is in fluid communication with a liquid feed inlet and with a retentate outlet, and each permeate channel is in fluid communication with a permeate outlet.
- UK Patent Application 2,236,693 discloses a similar cross-flow filter, but with either self-supporting porous filter plates or porous polymeric membranes supported by and bonded to a porous ceramic layer having larger pores.
- the retentate substance As the feed flows over the membrane surface, the retentate substance, because of its size, is blocked from passage through the pores of the membrane and is rinsed away from the membrane surface, so that it will not plug the membrane pores, thus preventing its permeation through the membrane. In spite of this, for various reasons, build-up of non-filtered residue is formed on the surface of the feed side of the membrane, which generally impairs the filtering capacity, the yield of targeted substances and the service life of the cross-flow filtration unit.
- a primary object of the invention is to provide an improved cross-flow filtration unit, which is characterized by an improved filtration capacity, a longer service life and a high product yield.
- the present invention provides an improved cross-flow filtration unit that separates
- the essence of the invention comprises sizing the pores in the two layers of a two-ply microporous membrane such that the pores of the layer facing the feed channel of the cross-flow filtration unit are on average 1.3 to 5 times the pores of the layer facing the permeate channel.
- fluids can be filtered which include liquids, emulsions, suspensions, potable fluids such as beer, beer flavorants, wine, juice, water, milk and whey; laboratory grade water; wastewater; fluids in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medicine, cosmetics, chemistry, biotechnology, gene technology, environmental protection and in laboratory work.
- the inventive cross-flow filtration units can be employed for recovery of valuable material, for separation of substances such as macromolecules and biomolecules, for depyrogenation and sterilization of solutions, for the separation of corrosive substances from fluids, for the filtration and concentration of biological solutions, for the separation of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, virus and cell components and for the desalination of protein solutions and other biological media.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the operative parts of an exemplary cross-flow filtration unit of the present invention.
- the present invention comprises an improvement in cross-flow filtration unit that enhances its efficiency and extends its service life and provides greater yield of target substances.
- FIG. 1 there is depicted in schematic form the operative parts of a cross-flow filtration unit of the invention, consisting of a series of liquid feed inlets 10 , feed flow channels 12 , permeate flow channels 20 , permeate outlets 22 , retentate outlets 30 and two-ply microporous polymeric membranes 40 , each membrane consisting of a front side layer or ply 41 facing feed flow channel 12 , and a back side layer or ply 42 facing permeate flow channel 20 , with the two plys 41 and 42 being joined together by small spacers 43 in their peripheries.
- the two plys 41 and 42 physically lie one on top of the other, but are not bonded together in the area 44 between them.
- the feed and permeate collection channels are advantageously held open by spacers (not shown in FIG. 1 ) which are conventional.
- the flow of fluid through the filtration unit is as depicted by the arrows in FIG. 1 , with the liquid feed initially entering the unit through feed inlet 10 , flowing through feed flow channel 12 , where the stream is split into a retentate-containing fluid flowing out through retentate outlet 30 and a permeate-containing fluid that permeates membrane 40 substantially perpendicularly from its front side 41 to its back side 42 into permeate flow channel 20 and permeate flow outlet 22 .
- the pore sizes of the membrane layers differ by a factor of less than 1.3, then, from a commercial operation standpoint, either insignificant or no effects on filtration efficiency are observed.
- the pore sizes in the membrane layers differ by a factor of greater than 5, then blinding of the membrane layer with the greater average pore size occurs very quickly, especially in the case of particulate-laden feed liquids, causing a halt to filtration.
- the cross-flow filtration unit is constructed as a filter cassette, the membrane layers of which consist of microfiltration membranes.
- a filter cassette in which the membrane layers facing the permeate collection channels have an average pore diameter in the range of 0.1 to 1.2 ⁇ m.
- the filtration unit has a single two-ply membrane, a single feed inlet and channel, a single retentate outlet and a single permeate channel and outlet wherein the two layers of the microporous membrane are oriented as noted above, and the average pore sizes of the two layers comply with the above-noted restriction.
- a cross-flow filtration unit having the pores of the two-ply membranes sized as noted above is used to filter a yeast cell suspension (pichia) with a cell concentration of 6 ⁇ 10 6 yeast cells (retentate content) per mL, which contains a targeted protein having a molecular weight of 70,000 Daltons (permeate content) in a concentration of 127 mL.
- the filtration takes place in a cross-flow mode with recycle of the retentate.
- the filtration unit is operated at a constant transmembrane pressure of 0.64 bar (the transmembrane pressure is equal to [input pressure+outlet pressure]/2 minus permeate pressure). The pressure was at 0.9 bar at the feed inlet, 0.4 bar at the retentate outlet and 0.1 bar at the permeate outlet.
- the cell suspension feed was held constant for both the Example and the Comparative Example.
- a cross-flow filtration unit fabricated in the form of a filter cassette was employed with two-ply membranes exposed to the liquid feed and having a total membrane surface area of 0.4 m 2 , and which had 13 feed flow channels and 12 permeate flow channels.
- the membrane layers facing the permeate flow channels were of cellulose acetate with an average pore size of 0.2 ⁇ m and the membrane layers facing the feed flow channels were also of cellulose acetate, but having an average pore size of 0.45 ⁇ m, larger by a factor of 2.25.
- a volume of 7.3 L of the cell suspension was concentrated to a final volume of 1 L.
- the average permeate flow rate was 0.875 L/min ⁇ m 2 . Filtration was conducted for 18 minutes.
- the concentration of the target protein in the permeate and the retentate was 107 and 238 mg/L, respectively.
- the yield of targeted protein was 72%.
- both plys of the two-ply membrane had an average pore size of 0.2 ⁇ m, so that the ratio of pore sizes was less than 1.3, i.e., 1; the average permeate flow rate was 0.29 L/min ⁇ m 2 ; filtration was conducted for 54 minutes; the concentration of the target protein in the permeate and in the retentate was 86 and 387 g/L, respectively; and the yield was 58%, or 14% less than with the inventive filtration device.
- the average pore size of the ply facing the feed flow channel was 1.2 ⁇ m, while that of the ply facing the permeate channel was 0.2 ⁇ m, so that the ratio of pore sizes was greater than 5, i.e., 6; the average permeate flow rate was 0.49 L/min ⁇ m 2 ; filtration was conducted for 37 minutes; the concentration of the target protein in the permeate and in the retentate was 89 and 365 g/L, respectively; and the yield was 61%, or 11% less than with the inventive filtration device.
- a cross-flow filtration cassette of conventional design (Sartocon® from Sartorius AG of Goettingen, Germany) was employed having a membrane surface exposed to the same feed of 0.7 m 2 , which had 17 feed flow channels and 16 permeate flow channels.
- the membrane layers facing the permeate flow channels consisted of a single-ply cellulose acetate membrane with an average pore size of 0.2 ⁇ m.
- a volume of 12.7 L of the cell suspension were concentrated to a final volume of 1 L.
- the average permeate flow was 0.328 L/min ⁇ m 2 .
- the filtration was terminated after 51 minutes.
- the concentration of targeted protein in the permeate and retentate was found to be 81.3 and 621 mg/L, respectively.
- the yield of targeted protein in the filtrate was thus 59%, or 13% less than with the inventive filtration device.
- the permeate flow was increased by a factor of 2.7.
- a further advantage apparent from use of the inventive cross-flow filtration unit was that a single filtration simultaneously encompassed both pre-filtration and final filtration; by way of contrast, in conventional practice two filtration steps must be carried out to achieve pre- and final filtration.
- use of the cross-flow filtration unit of the invention clearly results in a reduction of the costs of filtration.
