Integrating Downstream Unit Operations – Polishing and Concentration Steps
Integrating downstream unit operations provides many process benefits, including a reduction in the amount of manual operation and resources. The connection of unit operations also minimized intermediate hold steps and provided an overall reduction in process time. Key advantages of using this combination of equipment and software were 1) unit operation can be ran automatically and in parallel saving time 2) the use of single-use flow paths eliminated the need for costly and time-consuming cleaning and cleaning validation.
