Abstract
Packed bed gel material cleaning vessel, has an internal processing volume, to contain the gel, delimited by a circumferential, axially extending, upright vessel wall at both axial ends sealed by a top vessel wall and an opposite bottom vessel wall, the internal processing volume is above 10 litre; sensors of the vessel monitor the filling level of the vessel. A bottom filter completely covers the vessel bottom wall A circumferential, axially extending, cylindrical vertical filter is provided a short radial distance, e.g. between 1 and 20 millimetre internally from, parallel and concentrically with, the upright vessel wall, providing a torus like flow gap concentrical with the upright vessel wall.
Claims17
A packed bed gel material cleaning vessel, comprising:
- an internal processing volume, to contain the gel, which volume is delimited by a circumferential, axially extending, upright vessel wall (during normal operation of the vessel) at both axial ends sealed by a top vessel wall and an opposite bottom vessel wall,
- wherein the internal processing volume is more than 10 litre,
- wherein sensors of the vessel monitor the filling level of the vessel,
- wherein the vessel is “sanitary” and all surfaces delimiting the spaces that contain gel or liquid flowing to or from the gel are mirror polished in stainless steel, and
- a vertical filter provided at a spacing that is a short radial distance from a vertical wall of the vessel.
