300 m³/d Integrated Membranes for BCAA Fermentation Broth

This 300 m³/d project processes leucine, isoleucine and valine fermentation broth. Tubular UF separates cells, proteins and polysaccharides. NF provides decolorization and purification, and RO concentrates the stream before downstream ion exchange and crystallization.
