Activated Carbon Filter and Increase in Eficiency for Water treatment plant in pharma company..

-




Efficiency for Water System Activated carbon filters are used for water purification in water systems and application of these filters can increase the efficiency of water system.

Activated carbon filter is used to remove chlorine and organic matter from the water. It also removes the color and odor from the water hence the turbidity of the water is also removed.
It plays an important role in water purification systems where chlorine is added for decontamination. ACF is unable to remove the microbes and hardness
Activated carbon filter contains carbon particles of various sizes ranging from 10 to 50 mesh. Activated carbon is prepared from coconut shells by burning in the absence of oxygen generally in an atmosphere containing nitrogen or another inert gas.
This carbon is then activated by steam or chemical methods. In steam activation, this carbon is heated at 750- 950°C in the presence of steam. Steam activated carbon contains very fine pore size that is ideal for adsorption of components from water.In chemical activation of carbon, it is mixed with apaste of zinc chloride and heated at 600-800°C. Chemically activated carbon has a bigger pore size and ideal for adsorption of larger molecules from water.Chlorine and organic compounds are adsorbed onthe surface of activated carbon particles into their small pores. Reactivation of the carbon required again to increase the efficiency of activated carbon filter frequently.There are some factors that affect the efficiency of the carbon filters such as contact time of water on carbon bed, concentration of contamination, temperature and pH of water. At high temperature activated carbon filter is less effective than low temperature. pH of water also affects the adsorption of contaminants. A 20 % more activated carbon surface is required when we increase pH by one unit from
7.Sanitation of activated carbon filters should be done frequently with the steam because carbon supports the growth of microbes and it can contaminate the water systems.

Preparation Process for Water for Injection(WFI) in Pharmaceuticals company

-
Water for injection is used in sterile manufacturing and its preparation and storage is a critical process. There are basically two types of water preparationin pharmaceuticals. Water for Injection (WFI) preparation process and Purified Water preparation process.  The analytical standards for the two water are almost very similar, the only difference is that Water for Injection (WFI) preparation process in pharmaceuticals has stricter bacterial control standards than purified water process and has to pass the bacterial endotoxin test.                 Preparation methods are very similar to a particular point, however,                        Water for Injection (WFI) preparation process in pharmaceuticals must include distillation or double pass reverse osmosis techniques.                               ...

Purified Water Storage and Distribution System Learn about the purified water storage and distribution system and procedure for validation. The purified water is prepared by purified water generation system (Reverse Osmosis System) and collected in purified water storage tank of required capacity and distributed by a centrifugal pump for loop recirculation.At different points of use separate heat exchangeris provided (if required) to bring down temperature of hot circulating water as and when required. There is a back pressure valve in the return line. Instruments and on/off valve are for controlling and monitoring the system  operation and water quality. These are controlled from a centralized control panel consisting of a PLC board. The distribution piping consists of sanitary tubes, fittings, valves with orbital welding and triclover clamp in manufacturing area and for instrument connections. The water through this piping is supplied to various user points and circulated ...

Requirement of Active and Passive Air Sampling in Controlled Areas

-
Air sampling is a mandatory procedure to be followed in pharmaceuticals to produce the contamination free quality product. What would you say if I ask for the causes the most contamination of products during the manufacture of pharmaceuticals? However, air is another keysource of contaminationthat most pharmaceutical facilitiesoften ignore to take precaution from. Air samplingor air monitoring is essential for Quality Control(QC) purposes especially in companies that manufacture pharmaceutical products in controlled areas or clean rooms with filtered air.Well, what pharmacists, health care practitioners, and microbiologists refer to as air sampling can simply be defined as taking a correct measurement of the practical airborne bacteria, mold, yeast, spores and fungal cells which can be collectively referred to as bioburden in the surrounding air. The two main methods used to sample air are: 1 .Active air sampling/ monitoring 2.Passive air sampling/ monitoring 1. Active Air Sampl...
