In biotechnological processes, biomass or products are primarily produced using microorganisms or enzymes. The reactions take place in diluted, aqueous solutions. The aim of product purification (downstream processing) is to purify the manufactured products so that they are available in the specified purity and formulation. The processes used for this can be divided into mechanical, thermal and chemical basic operations and also serve to prepare the nutrient solutions (upstream processing).
