Recovery instantaneous permeate

Figure 3.1 Concentrate and instantaneous permeate concentration as functions of recovery.

Three basic quantities are defined to describe membrane performance. Flux is the permeate flow rate normalized to total membrane filter area. For protein recovery in the cell separation step, instantaneous protein transmission can be measured by determining enzyme concentration simultaneously on the retentate and permeate sides of the filter during cell concentration. Percent transmission is calculated as ...
