Separation Systems
Improve Efficiency in Yeast Recovery

Separation is a critical process stage between fermentation and downstream processing in yeast production. Performance achieved at this stage directly influences product quality, yeast recovery rates, and the overall efficiency of the facility.
Inefficient or underperforming separation systems can lead to product losses, increased operating costs, and fluctuations in process performance. For this reason, separation systems should be evaluated not only from an equipment perspective but as an integral part of the entire production process.
BT-Yeast approaches separation solutions based on the facility’s production objectives, process requirements, and existing infrastructure.
The goal is not simply to separate yeast cells, but to create integrated systems that improve recovery efficiency, support process stability, and enhance overall production performance.
System Scope
Centrifuge Technologies

Centrifuge systems play a critical role in separating and concentrating yeast cells from the fermentation medium. The most suitable technology is selected based on production capacity, process conditions, and product requirements. All factors affecting separation performance are evaluated to determine the optimal solution.
Yeast Concentration

Yeast concentration directly affects the efficiency of subsequent process stages. Proper management of concentration levels helps maintain product quality, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall process performance. Therefore, concentration processes are planned in alignment with the facility’s overall production structure.
Process Efficiency

The performance of separation systems is not determined by equipment capacity alone. Flow rates, process control strategies, automation infrastructure, and system integration also play a significant role in operational efficiency. These factors are evaluated collectively to achieve a more stable and efficient production process.
