Application of Ceramic Membrane in Biopharmaceutical Field

With the development of science and technology, biopharmaceutical technology has been developed and improved to a great extent. With the improvement of people's living standards, health and development of biopharma have been paying more and more attention no mater a country, or an individual. Biopharmaceutical industry is also in this trend, the introduction of new technologies. Especially the application of membrane separation technology in biopharmaceutical industry has made a huge contribution to the development of biopharmaceutical industry.


In the process of biopharmaceutical production, the separation and purification of microbial agents produced by fermentation are facing problems of low content, easy deactivation, and low yield. The membrane separation process has been widely developed as a new type of separation technology.

Compared with traditional processes, membrane separation has the advantages of simplified process flow, high product quality, simple operation, low energy consumption, high yield, environmental protection, and low operating costs.


Ceramic membrane independently developed by JIUWU HI-TECH has filled the domestic gap and reached the world advanced level. Click here for ceramic membrane price. Ceramic membrane is a porous membrane made of inorganic materials such as alumina and zirconia, which has the following characteristics:

A. Pore size of ceramic membrane has reached the range of nanometers, the precision of the filtrate is significantly improved compared with the traditional process, and the processing load and difficulty of the subsequent process are greatly reduced.

B. Ceramic membrane is suitable for high temperature disinfection and steam cleaning in pharmaceutical field, which is easier to clean, regenerate and sterilize, can meet the requirements of clean and sterile in pharmaceutical production.

C. Ceramic membrane has good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, wide pH range and strong anti-microbial ability. Ceramic membrane also can withstand the erosion of various media for a long time, and is suitable for the extraction and separation of various pharmaceutical ingredients in hydrocarbons and various solvents.

D. Good mechanical properties of ceramic membrane is unique, which has high structural stability, very firm, and is not easy to fall off and crack. It does not deform under a certain pressure, does not swell in any solvent, and can withstand the wear of solid particles.

E. With narrow pore size distribution and high separation precision, ceramic membrane with nanofiltraiton and high concentration multiplying factor can be achieved. During separation and concentration, closed operation at room temperature can maintain the activity of the product. The amount of diafiltraion becomes little, wastewater discharge is reduced . The product yield can be greatly improved and the mycelium can be recovered, which is especially suitable for the field of biopharmaceutical.

F. The service life of ceramic membrane is long. Ceramic membrane has been proved to have a long service life in many applications, which is 3 to 5 times longer than that of organic membrane and keep the separation performance unchanged, greatly reducing production costs.

At present, ceramic membrane made by JIUWU HI-TECH has been widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, amino acid ,antibiotics and other industries, and gradually replaces traditional low-efficiency, low-precision, high-energy consumption separation technologies such as filter press, centrifuge, decanter , which has got a higher market share and good reputation ,is of great significance to the country's resources, energy, environmental protection, people's health and technological transformation of traditional industries.
