This presentation will show how computational fluid dynamics studies can be applied to determine the cleaning rates of vessels used for pharmaceutical production. During changeover between batches of different products, vessels are often cleaned with solvent sprays. To reduce solvent and energy use and transition to greener solvents, there is a need to understand the… Read more »

Pharmaceutical cleaning and subsequent verification and validation have always been time consuming and a costly operation in multipurpose pharmaceutical plants. It has a significant impact on plant efficiency, utilities and resources. About 50% of time is spent doing cleaning, resulting in a massive impact on downtime, costs and changeovers. This presentation will cover the PMTC… Read more »
