Inventors include Shah, Sunil; Fanselow, Dan; and Leboreiro Hernandez, Jose Number.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A system and method are provided for using semi-permeable membrane-assisted solvent extraction for sequestering a bioinhibitor from a fermentation broth containing the same, by means of a plurality of tubular membrane modules arranged in a cascading sequence wherein the tube-side material preferably flowing counter-currently with the corresponding material flowing on the shell- side of the module cascades from one module in sequence to the next module in sequence using gravity as the motive force, and the shell-side material is pumped along the exteriors of the tubular membranes contained in each of the modules. A tube-in-tube mixing vessel is associated with each module to enable a recycle loop of a portion of the tube-side material, with another portion being cascaded forward to the next module in series.
