Liquid Separation

Pilot scale multi-column chromatography skid for binary separation; performs the continuous separation of two compounds or the binary fractionation of complex mixtures. Includes control panel to set process variables, monitor status, and make adjustments; heated process tanks, one for eluent and one for feed; six separation columns that can be valved off individually. In operation, […]

The SmartFlow TFF system is an advanced, automated membrane technology designed for efficient solid-liquid separation. Ideal for applications such as fermentation harvest, it filters suspended solids into a thick paste while maintaining high process reliability. The system incorporates modular membrane units capable of accommodating a wide range of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) pore sizes. Details […]

The 1812 membrane filtration skid is a small scale spiral filtration unit designed to filter and concentrate feed material, ranging in filtration sizes from MF to RO. This membrane skid requires feed material to have little to no suspended solids and the skid has a hold-up volume of about 5L. IBRL Inventory # 55-012

This equipment is a spiral housing membrane filtration skid that is designed to filter and concentrate feed material, ranging in filtration sizes from MF to RO. This membrane skid requires feed material to have little to no suspended solids and the skid has a hold-up volume of about 30L with one membrane installed and 45L […]

The Applexion MicroKerasep ceramic membrane filtration skid is a filtration unit designed to filter solids from liquids. The ceramic membranes can filter materials from 0.8 micron to 15kDa, and can handle high temperatures and pH levels. IBRL Inventory # 55-013

The Alfa Laval Clara 200 is a high throughput disc stack centrifuge designed to clarify liquids of suspended solids. IBRL Inventory # 55-011

The Vincent Company Fiber Press is a high torque screw press used to dewater fibrous organic materials. IBRL Inventory # 55-010

The Filter Press is used to clarify material. It is mainly used after fermentation. Food grade screens are also available. IBRL Inventory # 55-009

The M20 Alfa Laval Membrane Filtration Skid is used to concentrate/clarify material. It is mostly used after fermentation. IBRL Inventory # 55-006

The Western States Basket Centrifuge is used to filter out material. It does this by forming a cake on the rotating basket which helps in filtering the material. The screen sizes range from 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100 micron. IBRL Inventory # 55-007

The Clara 20 is a disc stack centrifuge that is used mainly after fermentation. It can be used as a clarifier to remove liquids from solids or can be used as a concentrator to remove two liquid states from solids. IBRL Inventory # 55-005

The Doxie 5 Hydrocylone is a cyclone that separates based on density. In the wet mill process, it is used to separate starch from protein. It has also been used to separate starch from protein using chickpeas as well as potatoes. This is used after the DSM Screen step in the wet mill process. IBRL […]

The Decanter is a continuous centrifuge that is used to separate liquids from solids. IBRL Inventory # 55-004

The DSM screen (or sieve bend screen) is designed to separate solids and liquids. The DSM screens vary in size and angle, with the average size of particles separated being 100-150 micron. IBRL Inventory # 55-001

The Germ Cyclone is used to separate the germ from the rest of the corn kernel in the wet mill process. This step is done after using the Bauer Mill. IBRL Inventory # 55-002
