Pharmaceutical Liquid Manufacturing Tanks – MAJOR COMPONENTS:
1. Tank Body:
– Should be made of SS 316 or SS 316L – to prevent the corrosion and easy cleaning
– Should be jacketed for temperature control.
2. Agitator:
– Type: anchor, paddle, or propeller
– Material: SS or glass-coated
– Speed: variable or fixed
– Function: mixing, blending, and homogenization
3. Heating/Cooling System:
– Jacketed tank with steam or hot water for heating
– Cooling coils or jacket with chilled water or glycol for cooling
– Temperature control system with sensors and valves.
4. Mixing System:
– Type: turbulent, laminar, or vortex mixing.
– Function: ensures uniform mixing of ingredients/ materials.
5. Filtration System:
– Type: cartridge, bag, or membrane filtration.
– Function: removes impurities and contaminants from the liquid.
6. Transfer System
– Type: fristum pump, gravity, or pressure transfer.
– Function: transfers liquid to filling lines or containers.
7. Automation System:
– Type: PLC, SCADA, or DCS
– Function: monitors and controls temperature, pH, level, and other process parameters.
8. Cleaning and Sanitization System:
– Type: CIP (Clean-in-Place).
– Function: ensures tank and equipment cleanliness and sanitization.
9. Ventilation and Exhaust System:
– Type: vent pipe or vacuum system.
– Function: removes vapors, fumes from the tank and surrounding area.
10. Safety Features:
– Type: pressure relief valve, rupture disk, or explosion-proof equipment.
– Function: ensures operator and equipment safety during manufacturing operations.
