Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for compensating for short-term pressure or volume fluctuations of a medium in a continuously carried out biopharmaceutical process.
  • a large number of processes are known from biopharmaceuticals, such as cell separation (e.g. through deep filtration), sterile filtration, chromatography, virus inactivation, virus filtration and crossflow filtration. All of these processes represent basic operations that are regularly interconnected to form different overall processes.
  • batch processes in which the respective intermediate product is collected in a container after each process step or basic operation
  • continuous processes in which the medium is made available continuously and “on demand”.
  • a continuous process is also to be understood here as a quasi-continuous process, in which buffering and / or switching between several alternative flow paths takes place in individual process steps, but a constant product flow is nevertheless generated.
  • buffer tanks are usually provided after certain sub-steps or after the individual basic operations, which can temporarily store a certain volume in order to compensate for fluctuations.
  • a major disadvantage of using such buffer tanks, however, is that an active element, in particular in the form of a pump, is required in order to maintain the volume flow and / or the pressure in the system, if necessary. This in turn requires a high degree of automation.
  • the object of the invention is to enable a short-term pressure or volume fluctuations to be compensated in a simple and effective manner in a continuously carried out biopharmaceutical process.
  • the device according to the invention for compensating for short-term pressure or volume fluctuations of a medium in a continuously guided biopharmaceutical process comprises a receiving space which is in flow communication with a process line through which the medium flows, for the short-term storage of an excess amount of the medium flowing into the receiving space.
  • the device according to the invention further comprises a compensation space which is separated from the receiving space by a deflectable, in particular flexible and elastically deflectable element, and a counterpressure means arranged in the compensation space for exerting a counterpressure on the deflectable element in the direction of the receiving space. All components of the device according to the invention that come into contact with media are designed as single-use components.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in a continuously operated biopharmaceutical process, the short-term pressure or Volume fluctuations caused by quality fluctuations can be avoided by not only providing receptacles for the medium, but at the same time taking measures to automatically return the medium collected after a pressure surge or an excess of volume to the process as soon as contrary conditions exist. Volume fluctuations can thus be compensated for with the device according to the invention, and the system pressure can be kept largely constant, so that the process conditions remain stable without the need for more complex solutions with additional pumps in the process lines. In the case of incompressible media in particular, process reliability increases, since a sudden, permanent pressure increase can also be absorbed and the pressure increase in the system progresses or is reduced more slowly. This also extends the time window for an emergency shutdown of the process.
  • the counterpressure means - viewed abstractly - an energy store which is charged by the medium flowing into the receiving space.
  • the energy store can e.g. be realized by an elastically deformable element, such as a foam or a spring element.
  • the stored energy is then used under appropriate conditions to eject the medium again from the recording room. In the simplest case, no external energy is required at all to compensate for the pressure or volume fluctuations.
  • a membrane is particularly suitable as a deflectable element.
  • the clamping of an elastically deflectable membrane has already proven itself in other technical areas, for example in valves for releasing or closing a valve seat.
  • the membrane serves to briefly increase the volume of the receiving space at the expense of the volume of the compensation space, in order to thereby build up a counterpressure in the compensation space.
  • the membrane is designed as a sterilized, disposable membrane.
  • a further development of the invention provides for the use of a semipermeable membrane or generally a semipermeable deflectable element.
  • a receptacle in particular a balloon, or an expandable hose section can also be used as the deflectable element.
  • the receiving body or hose section then essentially forms the entire receiving space and is accordingly designed as a disposable component.
  • the receiving space for the medium can be stored for a short time in a reusable container.
  • the receiving space in the container can be at least partially limited by a disposable insert, for example a suitable film, i.e. those areas of the receiving space that are not already formed by a disposable membrane or the like are delimited by the disposable insert.
  • a gas with excess pressure can be provided as the counterpressure medium in the compensation chamber, i.e. the compensation space is filled with a pressurized gas.
  • the compensation space is filled with a pressurized gas.
  • a solid body is particularly an elastic solid body which exerts an additional counter pressure due to its deformation.
  • the compensation space is closed with the counterpressure medium located therein, so that this cannot escape (in particular in the case of compressed gas).
  • a connection opening into the compensation space is provided for the supply or removal of fluid. Using this connection, the amount of fluid or its pressure in the compensation chamber can be changed if necessary.
  • a constant pressure source can be connected to the connection in order to ensure a uniform pressure in the compensation chamber, or a syringe with a syringe pump.
  • connection opening into the equalization chamber also makes it possible to use a controller to regulate the back pressure in the receiving space depending on the measured pressure or volume fluctuations. In this case, the back pressure is automatically adjusted to the respective conditions.
  • the receiving space and the compensation space can in particular be arranged in a disposable filter capsule housing or in a disposable filter cassette housing.
  • Such housings have the advantage that their sterilizability, pressure resistance and other parameters are precisely known.
  • at least one of the existing connections of the known housing design can be connected to the process line when used according to the invention and / or used for supplying or removing fluid into or from the compensation space.
  • the receiving space and the compensation space are arranged in a housing, preferably a cylinder, and separated by a piston which is displaceable in the housing and sealed against the housing.
  • the piston can be moved in one direction by the medium penetrating into the receiving space against resistance and in the other direction in order to eject the medium.
  • the piston can be subjected to a (mechanical, pneumatic or electromagnetic) force in the direction of the receiving space, in particular an adjustable or controllable force.
  • the device according to the invention does not necessarily have to be arranged on a branch of a process line.
  • a special embodiment of the invention provides a medium inlet into the receiving space and a medium outlet from the receiving space, the receiving space being surrounded by the compensation space, so that the device is arranged in the flow can be.
  • the medium therefore flows through the receiving space and can expand it radially outward if necessary, the counterpressure medium building up a radially inward counterpressure in the compensation space.
  • the receiving space between the inlet and the outlet can be formed in particular by an elastically stretchable disposable hose section which is surrounded by a rigid or flexible container, in particular a sheath, which is more stable than the hose section.
  • the stretchable hose section can expand when the pressure is too high and thus take up more volume in the short term.
  • the counter pressure medium arranged in the compensation space between the hose and the rigid container or the stable casing ensures that the hose section contracts again under opposite conditions, possibly to a smaller diameter than under normal conditions, in order to smooth out any pressure fluctuations.
  • the invention also provides a method for compensating for short-term pressure or volume fluctuations of a medium in a continuously carried out biopharmaceutical process, preferably using a device according to the invention, the method comprising the following steps:
  • the energy supply is regulated by means of a controller as a function of measured pressure or volume fluctuations. In this way, optimal compensation is possible without manual intervention.
