Storage and preparation vessel

   

Summary

In the pharmaceutical plants , some technics processes refer to storage and preparation . Such as , storage of purified water comes to storage tank , WFI comes to WFI storage tank etc.

Learning about this system , Watertown supplies design ,manufacture , instillation , measure and validation supporting sevice for customers .

To reach special requirements of biological engineering equipment , technics vessel must have good structure complying with requirements of pharmaceutical and sanitation .

 

Vessel characteristics
Machining as the pressure vessel quality assurance system .
  • Chemical stability of material ---undissolved , innoxious , stainless steel 304, 316L.  
  • Surface treatment ---- mechanical and electro-polishing for the contact surface with media .  
  • Connection mode ---- argon protection welding.  
  • Structure ---- aseptic and sanitation.  
  • Seal ---- a good seal system , should regarde to the seal level , working pressure , working temperature , anti-cavitation , sterilization ,clean , passivation .  
  • Slope : solution drain by itself gravity .  
  • Diameter and length ratio of nozzle and dead leg of pipeline ----if the length and diameter ratio is big , matters tend to remain , microorganisms are prone to grow up .  
  • Easy connection --- CIP and SIP connection easily .  

 

Advantages
The requirements for the material and surface treatment are same as vessel basically, connection with argon protection welding and sanitation clamp joint . Inner circular arc angles of tube and fittings both comply with the requirements of biological engineering equipment .According to the different requirements of technics , attachments may include:

  • Chemical stability of material ---undissolved , innoxious , stainless steel 304, 316L.  
  • Spray device ---- coverage rate is 100%, to assure physical appearance and chemical property of media are same in different places.  
  • Meters detection ----- level meter , temperature meter , PH , conductivity meter are using for the supervision physics and chemical state of medias in vessel .  
  • Manhole ---a passage for clean and repair persons .  
  • Sight glass---- to assure operator check the inner state of equipments .  
  • Weightometer--- to weigh for liquid medicine .  
  • Jacket ---- to regulate the inner temperature of vesel , satisfy technics requires for the temperature state .  
  • Insulation ---- according to the requirements of technics or comparing with ambient , reduce energy consumption , prevent operator from injuring , should have the insulation measure . The insulation material not contain asbestos and chloride .  
  • Air filter or clean nitrogen supply system --- to prevent uncondensable air coming into vessel , presure inside and outside of vessel are same .  
  • Pump & valves ---type is very crucial when using largely .  
  • Consideration for requirements of CIP and SIP . For example , 1. for the mixing tank of liquid medicine , using pneumatic diaphragm tank bottom valve . 2. WFI using KLH sanitation pump .  
  • Churn-dasher ---- stir for liquid medicine adequately .
