pharmawatertreatmentmportance and Method of De-gassing in Purified Water System

Learn how is it important to de-gas the water treated with cation bed and the procedure of de-gassing using forced draft method.
In pharmaceutical industries, bore-well is the principle source of the raw water.Raw water is purified by water purification systems to use in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Cation and anion beds are used to remove the hardness of raw water



Degassers are used to remove the dissolved gases from the water. When water is passed through the cation exchange, carbonates and bicarbonate ions are converted into the carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is soluble in water, therefore; it is not removed from the treated water.This carbon dioxide increases the ionic load on the anion bed resulting in the more consumption of the sodium hydroxide. The efficiency of the anion resin is also affected due to this dissolved carbon dioxide. Degasser should always be installed after the cation bed. If water purification system contains theRO system then is it very important to remove the dissolved carbon dioxide because it can damage the membrane in a very short time period. Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature and interferes with measurement of actual pH of water.Different methods are used for degassing of the water including thermal and membrane process but forced draft method of degassing is used in pharmaceutical water purification systems. In the process, water is passed through the column filled with the polypropylene having increased surface area. Air is passed through the polypropylene bed with the help of blower at the bottom of the column converting the water into droplets and dissolved gases are removed with this air from the top of the column.Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in purified water (1.5 g/l) and it can be reduced to 10 mg/l by this method.

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

What is VMP Brief information about Qualification, Validation and calibration of Equipment, Instrument and System. A document providing information on the company’s validation work programme. It should be define details of and timescales for the validation work to be performed. Responsibilities relating to the plan should be stated. 2.2 Which Guideline follow for preparation of VMP PIC/S (PI 006), WHO TRS 961, Eudralex Volume 4 2.3 Contents of VMP.  Cover Page, Table of contents  Approval of document  Introduction, Objective, Scope  Quality policy  Validation policy  Quality Risk Management Policy  Responsibility  Validation / Qualification Schematic Flow  Validation and Qualification approach  Revalidation and Requalification approach  Qualification Activity  Facility Qualification  Qualification and Validation of Utilities  Equipment Qualification  Laboratory Instruments and Equipment  Personnel Qualification  Products and Process Validation  E

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 back
