    Abstract: A subsurface safety valve for controlling fluid flow in a wellbore including a monitoring sub having a hydraulic connection port and defining a piston bore. The monitoring sub defining a hydraulic circuit extending between the hydraulic connection port and the piston bore. The monitoring sub comprising a sensing assembly incorporated in the hydraulic circuit that is operable to measure a degradation level of fluid in the hydraulic circuit. A flapper sub attached to the monitoring sub. A piston disposed in the piston bore of the monitoring sub. A flow tube positioned between the monitoring sub and the flapper attached to a downhole end of the monitoring sub and in contact with the flapper, the flow tube having a protrusion in contact with the piston. A return spring positioned in a cavity defined between the flow tube and the flapper sub, biasing the flow tube towards the monitoring sub.

    Abstract: A filtration module (20) for filtering a process medium in a bioprocess, in particular in a biopharmaceutical process comprises a process flow path for a process medium, a filter membrane (20) coupled to the process flow path, and a sampling membrane (18) coupled both to the process flow path and to a sampling flow path (16) for extracting a sample from the process medium. The sampling flow path (16) guides the extracted sample to a sampling outlet of the filtration module (20) or to an analyzer integrated into the filtration module (20). A filtration assembly comprises such a filtration module and an analyzer coupled to the sampling outlet of the filtration module (20). A method of sampling during a bioprocess comprises the following steps: providing such a filtration module (20); urging a process medium through the process flow path; filtering the process medium by using the filter membrane (20) coupled to the process flow path; extracting a sample from the process medium by using the sampling membrane (18) coupled to both the process flow path and the sampling flow path (16); and guiding the extracted sample to a sampling outlet of the filtration module (20) or to an analyzer integrated into the filtration module (20). A computer program comprises instructions to effect at least one of the following: cause the means for urging the transport medium through the sampling flow path (16) of the filtration assembly to control the flow of the transport medium; control the analyzer of the filtration module (20) or the analyzer of the filtration assembly, especially providing settings and inputs to the analyzer; cause a process control unit of the filtration assembly to evaluate analysis data provided by the analyzer of the filtration module or the analyzer of the filtration assembly, and to adjust or control the bioprocess based on the evaluation.
