Recommended: Water sanitation process

Purified water should be prepared using potable water as feed water. Purified water is used as excipients in manufacturing pharmaceuticals and for equipment cleaning, especially product contact surfaces of non-sterile chemicals. Types of purification used to produce this water include Deionisation, Distillation, Ion Exchange, Reverse Osmosis and Filtration. Purified water must meet ionic organic chemical and microbial requirements. The components that produce, store and circulate purified water must be sanitised and monitored frequently to avoid bio films forming.
Highly Purified Water (HPI)
Highly Purified Water should be prepared using potable water as feed water. It is intended for use in the preparation of products where water of high biological quality is needed. HPI must meet the same quality standard as water for injections (WFI) including the limit for endotoxins, but the generation systems are not as reliable as distillation. HPI may be prepared by combinations of methods such as reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and deionisation.
Water For Injections (WFI)
Water for Injections (WFI) should be prepared from potable water as a minimum quality feed water. WFI is used as excipients in manufacturing of potentials and for equipment cleaning especially product contact surfaces of sterile products. It is prepared using purified water as feed water. The method used for the preparation of WFI is multicolumn distillation. The water must meet ionic, organic chemical, microbial and endotoxins requirements. The systems that produce, store and circulate WFI should be controlled by circulation, frequent sanitisation and monitoring to avoid factors like microbial contamination and endotoxins.

...now has two loops which led to a decrease in the performance of the generation system due to the added demand.
There are two storage tanks for purified water, TK-310 and TK-253. Currently, in the existing system, TK-310 requests water from TK-253. This interface will be made redundant. For the new storage and distribution system, The TK-253 system will request water from the TK-310 distribution loop. This will require a new POU (Point of Use) valve assembly on the TK-310 distribution loop.
Control system was outdated
Another purpose for the investment was to update the current control system used to run the generation system. The existing control system included running valves with a distribution pump, a filling tank and a sanitisation loop. Second loop (Synthroid) has a new control system with its own storage tank, pump distribution loop and sanitisation system.

  • Sterile Compounding Essay

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sterile compounding is the preparation of products that should be free from all viable forms of life. There are more stringent requirements for sterile compounding than there are for non-sterile compounding. Staff must be trained and tested on their aseptic processing abilities, cleaner aseptic facilities are required, the quality of air entering the aseptic facility must be evaluated and maintained, sterilisation processes must be effective, knowledge of solution stability is needed and sterility testing of the products is required. The most common type of compounded sterile preparations (CSP) used clinically are aqueous injections. These CSPs require greater attention when being prepared as they pose the greatest risk to the patient if they are non-sterile or contain the wrong ingredients and/or wrong concentrations of ingredients if they are given intravenously. The main objective of sterile compounding is to prevent both morbidity and mortality of patients, which can be caused by non-sterility of preparations, high bacterial endotoxin content and errors associated with ingredients of the preparation, as mentioned earlier.

  • Tap Water Ethos

    599 Words  | 2 Pages

    The documentary titled Tapped released on May 2009 directed by Jason Lindsey and Stephanie Soechtig they talk about how tap water is unpurified and that bottle water is purified has always been the best and how water bottle plastic is made and what the plastic contains when water is left inside the plastic water bottle for a long period during that time they found toxic chemicals inside the bottled water and by that time they convinced me. The most effective persuasion techniques that this documentary had some good, credible Logos, Ethos, Pathos but felt that they should of talk more about what's happening inside the factors in bottle water industry's. This documentary is talking about how emotions are trying to convince us that tap water is better than the bottled water. Tap water is unpurified and bottled water is purified which is always making the best. In this documentary Adrianna Quintero stated that " there's this huge difference regulations with bottle water to put it simply tap water, drinking water is highly regulated and bottled water is virtually unregulated".

  • Water: Tritiated Water

    230 Words  | 1 Pages

    Tritiated water is a radioactive form of water where the hydrogens have two neutrons instead of zero neutrons found in pure water (McFarlane, Beckert and Brown 1976). Tritiated water acts like solute in the pure water of the xylem; therefore water exchange with cambium occurs and the treated water exits the xylem and enters the cambium via diffusion. Furthermore exchange between the phloem and the cambium occur to further dilute the tritium (Metzner et al. 2010; Klepper, Molz, and Peterson 1973). This exchange of the tritiated water again occurs via diffusion (Metzner et al. 2010; Klepper, Molz, and Peterson 1973). The tritiated water then travels from the phloem back to the roots. When the plant is girdled, the xylem is unable to exchange

  • Brayton Cycle Gas Turbine

    787 Words  | 2 Pages

    This type of turbine is mainly used to run the electric generator for the electric power production. Air at atmospheric pressure P1 and temperature T1 enters the compressor where it is compressed isentropically. During compression process, pressure and temp increased to P2 and T2. This compressed air will then enter the combustion chamber where it helps in burning the fuel. Due to burning of fuel, it is mixed with gases produced due to burning and attains a very high temp T3. This high pressure and high temperature air then runs the turbine where it is expended and hence the temp and pressure of air is reduced to T4 and P4. The turbine is coupled with generator as well as compressor. Therefore, some part of the turbine output is used to run the compressor while rest part of the turbine output is used to run the electric generator. Process 2-3 and 4-1 are isobaric process as shown in the figure 2.

    The consumption of contaminated water can be dangerous for health reasons and several people have passed away from these water-borne diseases. Some of these diseases include Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery, Giardiasis, and Malaria. These unfortunate diseases are currently the cause of numerous deaths, especially in small children. The availability of clean water can prevent many problems in low-income communities. The available resources for clean water are very rare, so these water sources need to pass through a process of water sanitation in order to just be sustainable to drink, “The world’s surface is made up of approximately 80% water, which is an indestructible substance.

  • Water Purification Conclusion

    1155 Words  | 3 Pages

    Water plays such an important role in our daily lives. 70% of our body is composed of water. 70% of the earth surface is also made up of water, but out of the 70%, only 1/3 of water is consumable. In fact, this amount has been continuously to decrease as more and more industries began to pollute and damage the water. For example, many toxic chemicals may be released into the water thus making the water impure. Such pollutions and damages lead the water to be contaminated and inconsumable as it may cause severe diseases. Water purification can remove all the unnecessary bacteria and viruses from the water that is hazardous for our health. Water purification may also improve the flavor and appearance of water. It removes the unpleasant odor. Therefore, water purification became one of the most useful and popular process used by people all over the world today. It is by far the most recommended and safest water treatment that is commonly used to purify damaged water into consumable water. Water purification provides us with safe, pure and clean water to consume and use.
