Good Practices of Air Handling Unit (AHU)

=>> AHU system should be designed as per requirement in new schedule ‘M’ or such other guidelines. =>> Installation of window A/C without any air filtration and pressure design is not satisfactory. =>> AHU should be fabricated and installed according to design qualification, and its record should ...

Method of Purification of water in Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical industry, water purification systems typically involve multiple stages to ensure high-quality purified water. A multimedia filter is a water filtration process that uses multiple layers of media to pass water through. The layers are progressively sized in coarseness and depth, with the ...

The core functions of an HVAC system

1. Controlling micro-organisms, particles in the air and dust. A working HVAC system has to primarily control dust, which is eliminated through filtration. Dust can be a cause of contamination in the manufacturing process if not taken care of. Airborne particles that are found in the air can also interfere ...

Preventative maintenance of Cooling Tower 7. Preventative maintenance of chilled and condensate water circulation ...

Risk Assessment for the Purified Water System

The risk assessment is the process that helps to identify the risks associated with the process or system. Risk assessment is important for all pharmaceutical systems to know the potential risks for the product and the patients. In this article, we will discuss the risk assessment process for purified ...

Basics of HVAC System

Air conditioning has changed over the years, with HVAC systems used to control the environment in pharmaceutical facilities’ storage areas and manufacturing. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning is a system used to regulate air temperature by controlling air filtration and air humidity. Heating, ...

HVAC system

An HVAC system is a heating ventilation and air conditioning system. It is used to air condition a large area where a normal air conditioner cannot be used. It consists of a boiler, chiller cooling tower and air handling unit. This system is used to control the temperature of a particular space along ...

Purified Water System

Pharmaceutical companies use water in a variety of processes, from cleaning and sanitizing equipment to manufacturing finished products. Consequently, it is important that the water used in these processes is free of contaminants that could potentially cause harm to patients. In this article, we will ...

Remove Pathogens from Water Systems

Pathogens are microorganisms capable of causing disease. All these microorganisms are harmful to humans. They can survive in pure water as well as injected water. Pathogenic bacteria found in water systems are E.coli, Salmonella and Pseudomanas. Typically, they are attached to water system filtration ...
