## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Downstream processing plays a crucial role in biotechnological production processes. Product concentration and purification require complex, multiβstep operations, using significant amounts of chemical and auxiliary material. Today, design and optimization is important b
For the separation of binary mixtures several techniques can be considered, of which distillation is the most widely used. When problems occur in distillation (like the formation of an azeotropic mixture), membrane separation can be an alternative. A cascade of membranes has to be applied in those c
