AUTOMATED SINGLE-USE FILTERING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN AUTOMATED SINGLE-USE FILTERING APPARATUS

摘要

An automated single-use filtering apparatus (10), in particular for large-volume filtering processes, comprises an unfiltered matter inlet (56), one or more filter elements, a filtered matter outlet (58), sensors for sensing certain process parameters, and setting devices for adjusting certain process parameters. The sensors and setting devices are connected to an external monitoring and control system (78) designed to analyze and process sensor data and control the setting devices on the basis of one or more control algorithms.
