Results for tag: "Simulated Moving Bed"

Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology is a type of chromatography used in chemical engineering. It is a continuous process that separates components of a mixture based on their affinity for a stationary and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is held in a bed of solid particles, while the mobile phase is a liquid or gas that flows through the bed. The bed is divided into several sections, each of which is moved in a circular motion, allowing for the continuous separation of the components. The SMB process is used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and petrochemicals. SMB technology is a cost-effective and efficient way to separate components of a mixture. It is also highly scalable, allowing for the production of large quantities of a product. Additionally, the process is environmentally friendly, as it does not require the use of hazardous chemicals. Some companies in the SMB market include Glatt, GEA, Koch Modular Process Systems, and Sulzer Chemtech. Show Less Read more
