β¦ Synopsis
A microporous
(3 pm) metal filter was very efficient for the recovery of Saccharomvces cerevisiae from a suspension. The filtration could be described by a cake filtration model, the cake resistance being dependent on the pressure drop applied and the concentration of bodyfeed added. The mean filtration capacity was 0.4 m3/m2 h.
