METHOD AND UNIT FOR PROCESSING FLUID

摘要

The present invention relates to a fluid processing unit for receiving fluid to be processed and delivering the fluid as processed fluid. The unit comprises a flow passage, at least one fluid interaction component or is adapted to receive at least one fluid interaction component, at least one of the at least one fluid interaction components comprising dosing means for dosing a substance into the fluid flowing through the processing unit. The unit further comprises one or more heat transferring elements for exchanging heat with the fluid flowing through the device, and one or more total pressure increasing means for increasing the total pressure of fluid to be processed at least locally in the fluid processing unit, The unit further comprises a casing encapsulating the one or more heat transferring elements, the one or more total pressure increasing means and the at least one fluid interaction component. The casing forms at least part of the wall of the fluid processing unit which confines fluid in the processing unit so that fluid may flow into / out of the processing unit through one or more inlets and outlets provided in the casing. The invention further relates to a cassette comprising one or more of the features as described above and to a method for processing a fluid, the method comprising feeding fluid to be processed to a fluid processing unit as described above.
