Abstract:
A plant and a process may be utilized to isolate a carboxylic acid from a fermentation broth. The process may involve separating a biomass from the fermentation broth containing a salt of the carboxylic acid to produce a low-biomass solution. The separation of the biomass may be performed in a first step by centrifugation, separation, precoat filtration, or microfiltration, and in a second step by ultrafiltration. The process may further involve concentrating the salt of the carboxylic acid in the low-biomass solution. The concentrated solution may then be acidified. Further, precipitation of the carboxylic acid may be obtained by acidification.”

Claim (Index 33):
The plant of  claim 32  wherein\n the separation unit is configured for performing a centrifugation, a separation, a precoat filtration, a microfiltration, or an ultrafiltration; \n the concentration unit is configured for performing a nanofiltration, a reverse osmosis, a high-pressure reverse osmosis, or a membrane distillation; \n the acidification unit is a settling vessel having a conical bottom and a discharge device disposed in a tip of a cone of the settling vessel; or \n the plant comprises a purification unit disposed between the separation unit and the concentration unit for purifying the salt of the carboxylic acid in the low-biomass fermentation broth, wherein the purification unit is configured for performing a nanofiltration, a cation exchange, an anion exchange, or an activated carbon purification.
