Abstract
The invention provides a unit operation formed by a device and its use for continuous virus inactivation of a continuous flow of a process fluid. The unit operation formed by a device comprises a single inlet at one end and an outlet at the opposite end and at least one HFI, characterized in that the HFI further comprises at least one installation.
Claims9
A unit operation formed by a device for providing a narrow residence time comprising a single inlet at one end and an outlet at the opposite end and a helical tube comprising at least one installation characterized by at least one of a plurality of geometric elements thereby forming a helical flow inverter or HFI, wherein the at least one installation characterized by at least one of a plurality of geometric elements of the HFI is a device for mixing fluids that does not require an actuated element, but achieves mixing by making use of fluid mechanics, and wherein the unit operation does not require a bend.
