THE COMPANY We are an independent company, founded in 1999, dedicated with passion and professionalism to bioprocess engineering. We offer state-of-the-art technology, with a practical approach and tailored to the particular needs of your project and company. We understand the project as a whole, thanks to the experience accumulated in multiple projects and an international team that comes from a variety of activities (R&D, engineering, production, maintenance, quality control ). Therefore we can help not only providing equipment but also developing processes, designing and building complete plants and training your operation and maintenance personnel.
THE COMPANY 7 Bionet is a specialist in bioprocesses engineering. We provide equipment (Bioreactors, Cross-Flow Filtration Systems and Cleaning-In-Place Systems) and advanced technical services. Our clients are industries and R&D organizations which work with bioprocesses in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical sectors. QUALITY We have a commissioning and FATs (Factory Acceptance Test) area that allows us to deliver tested and ready-tostart equipment, according to a Plug & Play concept. This reduces risk, shortens periods of commissioning of equipment and is useful to train future users. In Bionet, quality is part of our core culture and we work under a certifi ed quality management system, based on ISO 9001:2008. We work in a full documented engineering environment and provide our equipment with IQ (Installation Qualifi cation), OQ (Operation Qualifi cation) and PQ (Performance Qualifi cation). On demand, the design and qualifi cation may be executed according to cgmp standards.

18 CROSS-FLOW FILTRATION Cross-Flow Filtration is a widespread technology in industrial separation, clarification and concentration processes. At Bionet we strive to understand your technology, production and regulation needs, to design and build the optimal solution for your cross-flow filtration processes. We offer a fl exible relationship, adapted to your needs, including process development, process engineering, production, equipment, turnkey projects and training. Our goal is to partner with you to provide you with a production capacity according to your needs and status of your project. Production and process development
CROSS-FLOW FILTRATION The design of cross-fl ow fi ltration processes, and equipment that run them, is a complex process that requires knowledge and experience, in addition to the necessary technological capabilities. Bionet has a department dedicated to process development, composed of highly qualifi ed staff that has extensive experience working in many projects of high complexity. Reach the optimal solution requires a methodical process that may include different tests, such as: > Screening of the most suitable membrane technology (ceramic vs organic, fl at, tubular or HF membranes...) and cut-offs for your fi ltration process. > To optimize working conditions. > Physical/chemical conditioning of the products to be fi ltered to enable the process and optimize yields. > Study of multi-stage processes. > Development and validation of cleaning processes. Our laboratory and pilot plant is equipped with several fi ltration units to perform tests with different membrane technologies and from multiple vendors. We can work from small batches (2-3 liters) up to hundreds of liters. All this work reduces project risks ensuring that the equipment you are buying responds to a process execution tested and validated. We can produce commercial or validation batches in our pilot plant so you can advance your technical and commercial development.
Bionet has developed de M and R series, a complete range of pilot and industrial scale Cross-Flow Filtration systems. Our models cover all fi ltration levels (microfi ltration, ultrafi ltration, nanofi ltration and reverse osmosis). In addition, most market leaders available technologies (fl at ceramic tubular, hollow fi ber, spiral...) can be integrated.

Software implemented in 12 Touch Panel PCs. > ATEX compliant version for organic solvent fi ltrationextraction processes available. > Based on standard capacity most units can incorporate further membranes units to increase fi ltration surface. > All models may incorporate temperature control through temperature exchange jackets or heat exchangers integrated in the filtration circuit. > cgmp versions of all models and manufacturing under ASME-BPE standards available on demand. It includes CFR 21.11 version of ROSA+ SW. BIONET offers, as a service, cross-fl ow fi ltration process development. Our laboratory and pilot plant house the right-scale equipment to select and optimize processes with all technologies we install. This reduces project risks ensuring that the unit we deliver responds to a process performance already tested and validated.
22 CLEANING IN PLACE Bionet CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) systems are engineered to guarantee an effective and efficient cleaning of your lines, vessels, reactors and process units. They are designed based on proven engineering solutions (process, equipment and control SW) and we adapt them to specific project and client needs.
CLEANING IN PLACE Our CIP units are designed to work integrated with both Bionet equipment or other manufacturer equipment and processes. With this equipment you will have the security and confi dence of a complete and traceable cleaning for all your systems.
