Bio-based industries need efficient downstream solutions to process complex streams. This was addressed through a technology integration approach, where expanded-bed adsorption (EBA) is integrated with simulated moving-bed (SMB) technology. Current work involved adaptation of an SMB apparatus and control principle to implement expanded-bed level control. As an outcome, EBA-SMB technology was successfully applied for purification of -aminobutyric acid (GABA). This resulted in two-fold increase in productivity and a GABA purity ≥ 92 % in one step from unclarified fermentation broth, compared to ≥ 93 % purity in case of clarified broth and packed-bed SMB. These results proved that EBA-SMB technology is able to enhance process efficiency and economics of bioprocesses.
生物基产业需要高效的下游解决方案来处理复杂的物流。这通过一种技术集成方法得以解决,即将膨胀床吸附(EBA)与模拟移动床(SMB)技术相结合。当前的工作包括对SMB装置和控制原理进行改造,以实现膨胀床液位控制。结果,EBA-SMB技术成功应用于γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)的纯化。与澄清肉汤和填充床SMB情况下≥93%的纯度相比,这使得生产率提高了两倍,并且从未澄清的发酵肉汤中一步获得的GABA纯度≥92%。这些结果证明,EBA-SMB技术能够提高生物过程的工艺效率和经济性。
