Abstract

A method for handling separation media slurry in a tank, before transferring the separation media slurry to a column or a container. The method comprises the steps of: - blowing gas from the bottom of the tank into the sedimented media in the tank and thereby the sedimented media starts to re-suspend; - starting an impeller (7) provided in the tank in order to stir said media slurry that already has started to re-suspend.

Description

SEPARATION MEDIA SLURRY TANK
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and a tank for suspending separation media slurry according to the preambles of claim 1 and 3.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Separation media could be for example chromatography media and density gradient media. The media could be for example resins based on natural or synthetic polymer particles or inorganic material. For chromatography the separation media needs to be provided into a chromatography column. For the transportation of the separation media into for example a column the media needs first to be suspended into an homogenous media slurry mixture. The separation media is normally suspended with a liquid, for example water, buffer or a solvent. This suspended media is usually called media slurry. When a column should be filled with media slurry from one or more storage containers, an intermediate tank is used where the slurry is mixed into a homogenous mixture. The media slurry is often stirred manually in the tank and it is important that the media slurry becomes a homogenous mixture regarding the distribution of different sizes of particles in the media and regarding the mixing of particles and liquid. Of course it is not convenient to stir manually especially when there is a large amount of media slurry to be stirred. Manually stirring could also cause some sanitary issues. It could also take quite a long time to fill the column with the media slurry and the media slurry needs to be stirred the whole time. Another way to mix the slurry that is sometimes used is to shake or tilt the tank back and forth. This could be advantageous for small tanks and small volumes of slurry but is hard to perform and not suitable for big, heavy tanks.
Solutions have been proposed, for example in EP0515955 or JP4323557, where permanent, electrical stirrers, also called impellers are used. There are however different problems associated with these kind of impellers. If the impeller is not running the whole time when the media slurry is inside the tank the slurry will sediment and then it will be hard to start the impeller in the sedimented media. This requires furthermore an oversized engine. When starting the impeller in sedimented media the media particles can be damaged because of shear forces provided by the impeller. It could be preferable to not run the impeller the whole time in order to minimize possible damage to the particles caused by the impeller.
SUMMARY
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and tank for suspending separation media slurry before transportation of said media slurry into for example a column where particles in said media not are damaged.
This is achieved in a method according to claim 1 and in a tank according to claim 6.
Hereby the impeller does not need to start in a thick, sedimented media with the risk of damaging particles in the media and the impeller does not need to be running the whole time when the separation media is inside the tank.
Further suitable embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a schematic view of a separation media slurry tank according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a flow chart describing the steps of the method.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Figure 1 is a schematic view of a separation media slurry tank 1 according to the invention. If media is to be fed to a column from a media storage container the media is first transferred from the storage container(s) to a media tank according to the invention. This could be done by connecting a tube from the storage container to a pump connected to a media inlet 2 to the media slurry tank. Said media inlet 2 is suitably connected to a dip tube 2a provided pointing down into the tank with its lowest end relatively close to the bottom. Alternatively, the media tube 2 could be connected to a shorter type of dip tube which is pointing towards the wall of the tank in order to avoid splashing. Hereby the media slurry can be pumped from the media storage container to the tank. When the media has been transferred to the tank it immediately starts to sediment. An impeller 7 that is provided inside the tank can be started from the beginning and keep on stirring the media slurry the whole time until the media has been transferred to a column where it should be used for, for example chromatography, but according to the invention, as will be further described below, the impeller does not need to be ongoing the whole time. The impeller 7 is preferably designed as a coil in the height direction of the tank, this kind of impeller is also called a helical ribbon. Other designs such as a two- or three-bladed propeller or an impeller formed as an anchor are however also possible. In Figure 1 a two-bladed propeller 7 is shown. Furthermore the impeller is suitably provided with its lowest end close to the bottom 8 of the tank. Baffles are also suitably provided inside the tank in order to improve the stirring through increasing turbulence.
According to the invention at least one gas inlet 9 for compressed air or other clean, inert suitable gas, such as for example nitrogen, is provided at the bottom 8 of the tank, located on the lower part of the conical part of the tank close to the impeller. These gas inlets 9 can be provided as porous plates in order to increase the area. The gas inlets 9 are adapted to be attached to some kind of gas source, such as for example a compressor 3. The gas is proposed to be blown into the tank from the bottom when the slurry has sedimented to some degree. This has the advantage that the sedimented media in the tank will start to re-suspend. Preferably the impeller is not started until the sedimented media has been sufficiently re-suspended around the impeller by the introduction of gas from the gas inlet 9. Hereby it will be easier to start the impeller than it would have been if the impeller would have to start inside thick, sedimented media and the risk for damaging particles of the media is minimized.
When the media slurry has been stirred and mixed enough it can be transferred to a column through a pipe 11 from the bottom of the tank 1. However, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention the aerated slurry needs to be degassed before transferring it to the column. This is because air can cause issues in the column. It can for example affect packing and sanitization of the column. Degassing the slurry can be done for example by connecting a vacuum pump 17 to the tank. This vacuum pump 17 can suitably be connected to a degassing inlet 12 in the upper part of the tank.
In one embodiment of the invention the tank can also be pressurized. This can suitably be achieved by connecting for example the compressor 3 to a pressurizing inlet 18 in the upper part of the tank. Pressurizing the tank makes it possible to speed up the transferring of the slurry to the column. The pressure in the tank can even be used for the packing of the media slurry in the column provided the applied tank pressure is suitable for packing the media of use.
By using some kind of valve the degassing inlet 12 and the pressurizing inlet 18 could be combined in one. I.e. the vacuum pump 17 and the compressor 3 can be alternatively connected through a valve to an inlet in the top of the tank. In this case the vacuum pump is preferably driven by the compressor.
The porous plates used for the gas inlets 9 can suitably be provided as filters. When pressurizing the tank these filters can also be used for pressing out liquid from the tank in order to change the media slurry concentration. A tube 19 then need to be connected to the filter plates 9. These filter plates can in one embodiment of the invention easily be exchanged. This is suitable because of sanitary reasons. When using different media there is a contamination risk. There can also be a risk for fuoling of the filters and therefore they may need to be exchanged. Load cells 13 can also be provided on the tank. The weight of the tank can then be monitored and thereby also the amount of liquid being pressed out through the filters and hereby also the change of slurry concentration. Furthermore the amount of slurry being moved to the column can be measured.
Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the invention spray balls 15 are provided in the tank. These are suitable for cleaning the tank with for example sodium hydroxide. They can also be used in order to be able to take all media particles out of the tank. It would also be possible to clean the tank by autoclaving since the tank can be pressurized.
In this case the tank needs to have a mantel 20 and isolation.
The tank can be provided with wheels that can be locked.
The tank according to the invention can also be used when transferring media from a column to a storage container. It could be suitable to first transfer the media to the tank, suspend the media sufficiently according to what was previously described and then transfer the media slurry to the storage container. However, this tank can also suitable be used as a storage container.
Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the invention a sight glass is provided in the manhole cover. This will simplify the judgement of when the degassing is sufficient, if foam is generated, that no vortex occur during emptying of tank and also for cleaning inspection. Hereby inspection can be performed without opening the tank and thereby the risk for contamination of the media.
The method according to one embodiment of the invention where media slurry is transferred from a storage container to a column via the tank will now be further described with reference to the flowchart in Figure 2. The steps are described in order below.
S 1 : Media slurry is first transferred from the storage container to the tank according to the invention. This could be done by using a pump and a tube or pipe. As soon as the media slurry has entered the tank it starts to sediment, i.e. media will sediment at the bottom 8 of the tank.
The method steps S3-S9 need not to be performed immediately after transferring of the media slurry to the tank. But when it is time for the transferring of the media slurry to the column the media slurry needs to be mixed into homogenous media slurry and then the steps S3-S9 will be performed. S3: Blowing gas into the tank from the bottom of the tank (through the gas inlets 9).
Hereby the sedimented media bed at the bottom of the tank will start to loosen up.
S5: When the sedimented media close to the bottom 8 of the tank has been sufficiently re-suspended the impeller 7 is started. The impeller 7 is driven until a homogenous mixture of the media slurry is achieved.
S7: In one embodiment of the invention an underpressure is provided in the tank in order to degas the slurry.
S9: When the media slurry is sufficiently mixed and it has been degassed it is transferred to the column. Suitably this transferring is assisted by pressurizing the tank. Alternatively a pump is provided in between the tank and the column.
If the method according to the invention should be applied for the invert transferring of media slurry, i.e. from column to storage container the same steps S1-S9 are followed with the only change that the storage container replaces the column and the column replaces the storage container.
