  • Patent number: 12606785
    Abstract: A method for mounting at least one component on an installation includes attaching a carrier directly or indirectly to the installation, where the installation has at least one frame with at least two arms, at least one base plate, and at least one deformable element. The method further includes displacing the component toward the deformable element such that the deformable element is displaced from a receiving state (AUZ), in which the deformable element is ready to receive the component of the installation, toward a locked state (ARZ), as a result of which the deformable element surrounds and mounts the component of the installation at least in part.

  • Publication number: 20230407229
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can configure and/or setup and/or control a downstream process for processing a biomass, including receiving at least one measurement value of at least one feature of an upstream process by which the biomass to be processed in the downstream process has been obtained and/or of at least one feature of a downstream process stage or operation, determining at least one downstream process parameter based on the received at least one measurement value, arid configuring and/or setup and/or controlling at least one downstream process stage or process operation based on the determined at least one downstream process parameter.

  • Patent number: 11795425
    Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for biotechnological applications (1, 101), comprising an improved holder system (4) with at least one carrier (10) for the mounting of components (5) of the installation (1, 101) on the installation (1, 101). The carrier (10), which comprises a frame (12) with two arms (14) and with a recess (16) and includes a deformable element (30) with at least two fastening sections (32), which may be understood to have a flat base (20) by which the carrier (10) can be fastened to the installation (1, 101). The deformable element (30) is designed to assume the following states: a receiving state AUZ, in which the deformable element (30) is available for receiving a component (5) of the installation (1, 101); and a locking state ARZ.

  • Patent number: 7273554
    Abstract: The invention relates to a crossflow-filtration method for beverages, in particular beer, which comprises the following steps: a) the feed liquid is introduced into a filter module by means of a tangential flow through a filter membrane (6) in a first direction, whereby the filtrate flow on the filtrate side (19) of the filter module is maintained within predetermined threshold values; b) the entry pressure is reduced and the filter is backflushed by surges of filtrate initiated by a reversal of the flow direction transversally to the membrane; c) the feed liquid is optionally introduced in an inverse flow direction to that of step a) and the concentrate is evacuated on the non-filtrate (7) side of the module; d) the entry pressure is reduced and the filter is backflushed by surges of filtrate initiated by a reversal of the flow direction transversally to the membrane; e) steps a) to d) are repeated until the filtrate flow lies below the lower predetermined threshold value; f) to k) the filter is emptied by a
