Process Plants for Production of Highly purified Media

Water is an important raw material for the production of pharmaceutical liquids, where quality is a prime concern, and an essential ancillary medium for a variety of subordinate processes in the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology. In order to be able to produce the requisite quantities of water in the quality laid down in USP and Ph Eur, water plant has to meet very exacting demands. A large number of national and international regulations and standards have to be complied with. Water apparatus is subject to very stringent control and inspection. GEA Liquid Processing plant can fulfill these requirements.

Uses of water in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology:

• for the manufacture of liquid pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical preparations dissolved in liquid
• for biotechnological processes
• for the manufacture of pure pyrogen-free steam
• for the sterilization of plant components
• for CIP processes

Plant for every requirement

We will realize a hot (WFI) or cold (PW) water storage system, depending on your requirements. Every draw-off point in the loop system is equipped with a sampling valve and fittings for loop sterilization. The necessary metering technology for throughput and TOC are provided as standard. We incorporate all the units required for the production of highly purified media into these systems.

Essential characteristics:

• design free of dead-leg areas
• systems that can be completely evacuated and sterilized "zero dead-leg" valves
• TOC metering technology
• diaphragm valve technology
• tubular heat exchangers in DTS design
