Pharmaceutical Water Systems

A major new work on all aspects of water, the most used raw material ingredient in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries-used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, as a cleaning agent, and as a separately packaged product diluent.Drawing on the author's extensive field experience with more than 400 pharmaceutical and related wat

Pharmaceutical water systems are an important part of good manufacturing practice. With development in design, installation and validation, pharmaceutical water systems are becoming key to new projects in the contemporary pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical companies realize that pharmaceutical water systems can provide competitive advantage, consistent quality assurance, and cost saving. Pharmaceutical Water Systems offers comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the topic, presenting successful system operation examples selected from thousands of real-life systems. The title offers those working in pharma a deeper and more visual understanding of pharmaceutical water systems, promoting the popularization of design, manufacturing and validation through pharmaceutical water systems. The book introduces new and innovative technological concepts, including WFI generation with the purification method, online microorganism detecting technology, design and practice of WFI systems at normal temperature, residual chlorine removal technology with UV radiation, and rouge remediation and prevention, among others. The book consists in 13 chapters, covering pharmacopeia and regulations; design concepts; unit operation and components; generation of purified water; generation of water for injection; storage and distribution systems; pharmaceutical steam systems; sanitation and sterilization technology; rouge formation; derouging stainless steel systems; quality management; automatic control technology; and validation Presents successful system examples selected from real-life systems Introduces novel technological innovations Details how pharmaceutical companies can gain competitive advantage through pharmaceutical water systems Offers access to many combined years of practical experience and real-world examples applied to pharmaceutical water systems Promotes the popularization of design, manufacturing and validation through pharmaceutical water systems

From chemical and biological purity requirements, to system design and its impact on water purity, to the requirements and restrictions imposed by the regulators, this book comprehensively covers the unique water requirements of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Beginning with a brief overview of the theory and application of the technology, William Collentro clarifies the seemingly overwhelming engineering aspects as he discusses design considerations, operation, maintenance, validation, and regulatory-related topics bases upon personal experience with more than 400 pharmaceutical and related water purification systems. His extensive field experience and the numerous case studies recounted in this book ensure that all relevant aspects of pharmaceutical water technology are thoroughly explained in a clear, concise style.Features

The detection of pharmaceutical residues remained elusive until instruments such as liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry became commonplace in environmental laboratories. The documentation of the occurrence of pharmaceutical residues and endocrine disrupting chemicals in water resources has raused questions about their long-term effects

Since sterile filtration and purification steps are becoming more prevalent and critical within medicinal drug manufacturing, the third edition of Filtration and Purification in the Biopharmaceutical Industry greatly expands its focus with extensive new material on the critical role of purification and advances in filtration science and technology. It provides state-of-the-science information on all aspects of bioprocessing including the current methods, processes, technologies and equipment. It also covers industry standards and regulatory requirements for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. The book is an essential, comprehensive source for all involved in filtration and purification practices, training and compliance. It describes such technologies as viral retentive filters, membrane chromatography, downstream processing, cell harvesting, and sterile filtration. Features: Addresses recent biotechnology-related processes and advanced technologies such as viral retentive filters, membrane chromatography, downstream processing, cell harvesting, and sterile filtration of medium, buffer and end product Presents detailed updates on the latest FDA and EMA regulatory requirements involving filtration and purification practices, as well as discussions on best practises in filter integrity testing Describes current industry quality standards and validation requirements and provides guidance for compliance, not just from an end-user perspective, but also supplier requirement It discusses the advantages of single-use process technologies and the qualification needs Sterilizing grade filtration qualification and process validation is presented in detail to gain the understanding of the regulatory needs The book has been compilated by highly experienced contributors in the field of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processing. Each specific topic has been thoroughly examined by a subject matter expert.
