What is Amino Acid?
Amino acids, essential organic compounds containing amino and carboxyl groups, are vital for numerous biological functions, with over 300 natural varieties and 22 critical to human health. Amino acid separation is a crucial process where high-purity amino acids are essential. Traditional methods like crystallization and chromatography are effective but can be resource-intensive.
Membrane technology offers a more efficient alternative, providing selective separation based on molecular size, charge, or affinity. Technology like nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), and reverse osmosis (RO) are widely employed to concentrate, purify, and fractionate amino acids. Membranes enable energy-efficient, scalable, and environmentally friendly processes, reducing chemical usage and waste while ensuring high separation performance, making them indispensable in modern amino acid production.

Spiral Wound Nanofiltration (NF) Membranes
Spiral Wound NF Technology is useful for demineralization, concentration, and selective separation of amino acids based on molecular weight and charge properties. The product is able to remove salts and other impurities while retaining amino acids.
Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes
Spiral Wound RO Technology provides high-level concentration and purification by removing water and low-molecular-weight impurities, increasing the amino acid concentration.
Continuous Moving Bed Technology
SepTor replaces fixed-bed ion exchange, reducing resin, water and chemical consumption.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
The production of liquid medicine typically takes 1 to 2 months due to repeated processing, which increases the risk of bacterial contamination and reduces the concentration of active ingredients. As a result, most products exhibit high impurity levels, poor clarity, and limited stability, hindering the industrialization and commercialization of traditional Chinese medicine. Membrane separation technology addresses these challenges, improving the efficiency and quality of production.
