A device for compensating short-term pressure or volume fluctuations of a medium in a continuously managed biopharmaceutical process including a receiving space in fluid communication with a process line through which a medium flows, an equalizing space, which is separated from the receiving space by a deflectable element, and a counter-pressure mechanism in the equalizing space for applying a counter-pressure to the deflectable element towards the receiving space. A method of compensating short-term pressure or volume fluctuations of a medium in a continuously managed biopharmaceutical process including providing a receiving space in fluid communication with a process line through which a medium flows, receiving an excess amount of the medium flowing into the receiving space, charging an energy storage device by the medium flowing into the receiving space, and expelling at least part of the excess amount if the pressure or flow rate falls below a set amount.
