| 20220072475 | BATCH AND SEMI-BATCH PRESSURE AND OSMOTICALLY DRIVEN SEPARATION PROCESSES - A method and device for continuous batch separation where batch reset time is eliminated is provided. Separation is achieved in passes employing more than one liquid container or chamber. First pass begins with batch feed solution from a source reservoir, the feed solution flows from the source reservoir, undergoes separation in the separation device and the retentate is returned to a receiving reservoir until the source reservoir is evacuated. On feed switch over sequence, all pass one solution present in the holdup volume of the system is replaced with pass two solution with minimal to no mixing between the two solutions. Separation continues during the switch over sequence. The batch continues with subsequent passes until desired separation or operating conditions are met. Feed solution for the next batch is filled and kept ready during separation of a batch. Similar feed switch over sequence is followed between batches. | 2022-03-10 |

A port receives a second solution to be treated in a shell side volume and another port for discharging the treated second solution. A first end cap has an inlet for a first solution and a distributer for distributing the first solution to a first end of the hollow fiber cartridges. A second end cap has a collector for collecting the treated first solution from the second end of the hollow fiber cartridges and an outlet for the treated first solution. A first connector has an inlet for the second solution and a distributer for distributing the second solution to a port of the hollow fiber cartridges. A second connector has a collector for collecting the treated second solution from the other port of the hollow fiber cartridges and an outlet for the treated second solution. | 2022-03-10 |
| 20220072477 | METHOD FOR TREATING WHEY DEMINERALIZATION EFFLUENTS - A treatment of demineralization effluents, particularly recycling effluents, a method for demineralizing whey and treating the effluents, and a facility for implementation thereof. The treatment of whey demineralization effluents includes: i) supplying a whey demineralization effluent, ii) treating by reverse osmosis effluent recovered in i) to obtain a reverse osmosis permeate and retentate, iii) neutralizing the retentate pH, iv) treating the neutralized retentate by nanofiltration to obtain a permeate including monovalent ions and a retentate including divalent ions and residual organic materials, v) treating the permeate in iv) by electrodialysis with bipolar membrane to obtain acidic solution(s) and basic solution(s). Thus, it is possible to treat effluents, limit their environmental impact, generate solutions for the whey demineralization process, reduce the cost of whey demineralization because some process water from electrodialysis comes from treatment of the generated effluents, and reduce the total amount of effluent sent to the wastewater treatment plant. | 2022-03-10 |
| 20220072478 | CELL RETENTION DEVICE - A cell retention device includes a structured support with a plurality of circumferentially distributed ribs to retain the active filtering surface of a flexible, porous membrane filter medium. The filter medium surrounds the support in contact with the peaks of the ribs, thereby forming axial voids between the rib peaks. This arrangement imparts sufficient structural support over small regions of the filter medium to facilitate its use in a circular (or other rounded) configuration while providing sufficient channel volume to support high throughput of fluid sparse of cells. | 2022-03-10 |
| 20220072479 | METHOD FOR TESTING INTEGRITY OF A FILTER MEDIUM - An integrity testing method for a porous medium in a housing having an interior separated by the medium into upstream and downstream portions, an inlet and an outlet communicating, respectively, with the upstream and downstream portions, the outlet connected to a closeable conduit, comprises filling the downstream portion and conduit with liquid, draining the upstream portion and filling it with gas while retaining liquid in the downstream portion, connecting a gas-filled testing volume to the downstream portion, maintaining gas pressure of a predetermined testing differential pressure in the upstream portion, the differential pressure being lower than a predefined bubble point of the medium, determining the pressure in the testing volume, the testing volume selected such that, when a medium is tested having a bubble point corresponding to the predefined bubble point, a pressure increase within the testing volume of about 100 mbar or more is obtained within 10 minutes. | 2022-03-10 |
