Abstract: A centrifuge setup of a bioprocessing installation, wherein, for the centrifugation, the centrifuge setup comprises a centrifuge, wherein the centrifuge comprises at least one centrifuge chamber with a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet, wherein the centrifuge setup comprises a liquid pumping arrangement and a liquid network with a number of liquid lines communicating with the liquid pumping arrangement. The centrifuge setup comprises a sensor arrangement with at least one biomass sensor arrangement, which biomass sensor arrangement is assigned to a liquid line of the liquid network, that the process control calculates an occurrence level of biomass in the respective liquid line based on the sensor signals of the biomass sensor arrangement and that the process control controls the valve arrangement and/or the liquid pumping arrangement during the loading cycle and/or the washing cycle and/or the discharging cycle based on the sensor signals of the sensor arrangement.

Abstract: A clarification setup of a bioprocessing installation wherein, for the centrifugation, the clarification setup comprises a centrifuge, wherein the centrifuge comprises at least one centrifuge chamber with a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet, wherein the clarification setup comprises a liquid pumping arrangement assigned to the centrifuge and a liquid network with a number of liquid lines communicating with the liquid pumping arrangement, wherein the clarification setup comprises a process control for controlling the centrifuge and the liquid pumping arrangement. For filtration, the clarification setup comprises a filter arrangement, that the liquid network provides an outlet supernatant line for a liquid connection between the chamber outlet and the filter arrangement, which is at least temporarily liquid-tight, such that due to this liquid-tight condition of the outlet supernatant line the liquid pumping arrangement as such may drive the supernatant from the chamber outlet to the filter arrangement.

Abstract: A fuel cell system comprises at least one fuel cell having an air inlet and an exhaust gas outlet, an air supply device connectable to the air inlet and an exhaust gas extracting device connectable to the exhaust gas outlet. Further, a water extraction device has at least two drying units, wherein the water extraction device is adapted for selectively providing a fluid connection from the air supply device to the air inlet of the fuel cell be means of one of the at least two drying units and from the exhaust gas extracting device to the exhaust gas outlet by means of another one of the at least two drying units. Thereby, an optimal drying process is conducted that does not influence a dynamic power generation.

Abstract: The present concerns an apparatus (5, 105) for energy production from a hydrocarbon mixture (15) having at least one dehydrogenatable compound, in particular from a hydrocarbon-based fuel, preferably from kerosene, comprising a tank (10, 110) for providing the hydrocarbon mixture (15), and a combustion machine (20, 120) connected to the tank (10, 110) for combustion of hydrocarbons for producing thermal and/or kinetic energy (25, 125, 30, 130).
