Description

Background
Tangential flow filtration (including microfiltration and ultrafiltration) is a common downstream separation technique for biopharmaceuticals, commonly found in clarification of feed streams, buffer displacement, and product concentration. As shown in fig. 1, the existing tangential flow filtration system comprises: a tangential flow filter having a set of membrane modules therein, large molecules or particles being trapped upstream by the membrane modules, small molecules passing through the membrane modules and downstream; the circulating pump is used for driving feed liquid to tangentially flow along the surface of the membrane and wash the surface of the membrane so as to reduce the membrane filtration resistance; a fluid infusion pump; a circulation tank; a set of temperature control device (a tank jacket is used for controlling the temperature, or a reflux end is arranged on an online heat exchanger); the pressure regulating valve is positioned at the reflux end and used for controlling the average transmembrane pressure difference of the filtering membrane to be used as the driving force of filtering; corresponding valves and pipelines and meters. The working process of the existing tangential flow filtration system comprises the following steps: the material liquid is pumped into the circulating tank body through the liquid supplementing pump, the material liquid enters the circulating pump through the tank bottom valve, then enters the tangential flow filter, and then returns to the tank body through the pressure regulating valve. The small molecule feed solution passes through the membrane module of the tangential flow filter and enters downstream for separation. In the working process, the circulating tank body is kept at normal pressure, the circulating pump provides tangential flow velocity, and the system adjusts the rotating speed of the circulating pump according to the set flow velocity requirement so as to achieve the set flow velocity. At the same time, the system adjusts the TMP to a set value by using a pressure regulating valve at the return end of the tangential flow filter according to the set TMP requirement.
Existing tangential flow filtration systems suffer from the following drawbacks:
1) On one hand, the pressure regulating valve can generate higher pressure drop at two ends of the pressure regulating valve, so that the heat generation is high, and the temperature rise of the feed liquid is obvious; on the other hand, the feed liquid passes through the pressure regulating valve to generate higher back pressure, the flow channel is suddenly reduced, a high-speed flow area is provided, and higher shearing force is generated, so that macromolecular products of the feed liquid are deactivated or degraded.
2) Tangential flow filtration provides tangential flow rate through the circulation pump with a small line pressure loss of tangential flow, typically less than 0.5bar g, but due to TMP requirements the circulation pump is forced to provide a higher pump outlet pressure, typically 1-3bar g, requiring a higher lift of the circulation pump.
