by Wallace Woon-Fong Leung (Author)
Centrifugal Separations in Biotechnology, Second Edition, is
the only book on the market devoted to centrifugal separation in
biotechnology. Key topics covered include a full introduction to
centrifugation, sedimentation and separation; detailed coverage of
centrifuge types, including batch and semi-batch centrifuges, disk-stack
and tubular decanter centrifuges; methods for increasing solids
concentration; laboratory and pilot testing of centrifuges; selection
and sizing centrifuges; scale-up of equipment, performance prediction
and analysis of test results using numerical simulation.
Centrifugal Separations in Biotechnology, Second Edition,
provides guidance on troubleshooting and optimizing centrifuges, and
then goes on to explore the commercial applications of centrifuges in
biotechnology. It gives detailed process information and data to assist
in the development of particular processes from existing systems. It is
of value to professionals in the chemical, bioprocess, and biotech
sectors, and all those concerned with bioseparation, bioprocessing,
unit-operations and process engineering.
