Abstract
A separation system comprises (i) at least two separation units, each separation unit comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the separation units are connected in series outlet to inlet to form a line of separation units, and (ii) sensing and adjustment means, provided in-line between each separation unit, for continuously monitoring and adjusting at least one environmental property parameter of fluid flowing from one separation unit to a subsequent separation unit in the line of separation units. Uses of the separation system and a method for purification of a liquid containing a desired species, using separation units and in-line adjustment of a fluid flow or flows, are also disclosed.
