Abstract:
1. Device for tangential filtration of a liquid to be treated intended to be separated into a filtrate and a retentate, comprising: at least one filtering element which comprises at least one inlet for the liquid to be filtered, at least one outlet for the filtrate which has passed through the filtering element, and at least one outlet for the retentate which has circulated along the filtering element, said element being incorporated in a circulation loop so that at least part of the retentate is reinjected into the liquid to be treated before it enters the filtering element, a circulation pump whose turbine is integrated in the circulation loop, a filtration module, named casing at least one probe to detect information characteristic of the liquid to be filtered, and representing risks of gelling of the liquid to be filtered in the filtering element(s) and/or risks of total fouling of the filtering element(s).
