Chlorine Treatment & Gas Feed Systems for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Hydro Instruments is proud to support the endeavors of pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide with our collection of innovative liquid and gas feed technologies. Thanks to their ability to deliver highly precise dosages, our equipment is capable of providing clients with the accuracy they need to make safe and effective drugs.
How Our Gas Feed Systems for Pharmaceuticals Support Manufacturing Processes
Blanketing Ingredients of High Purity
Many ingredients used in the creation of pharmaceuticals are sensitive to oxygen and can undergo changes when exposed to air. These unwanted changes can rob the ingredients of their purity, reducing the effectiveness of the pharmaceuticals they’re used in.
To combat these changes and maintain the purity of said ingredients, it is common practice in pharmaceutical plants to apply Nitrogen blankets. Because Nitrogen is a readily available and inert gas—meaning it does not react with other elements—it’s used to lower the presence of oxygen during the manufacturing process so that the ingredients remain stable.
Hydro Instruments’ gas feed systems aid in this process by enabling precise dosages of Nitrogen. Thanks to the accuracy of our equipment, you can have confidence your ingredients will be exposed to an appropriate amount of Nitrogen and any unwanted reactions are prevented.
Creating Inert Packaging Environments
The inert nature of Nitrogen plays other roles in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Notably, it is used as a packaging gas to preserve pharmaceuticals and prolong their shelf life.
Oxygen can carry moisture, which may facilitate the growth of unwanted bacteria. Using our gas feed systems in the delivery of Nitrogen helps preserve products from degradation and promotes greater quality control.
How Hydro Instruments’ Equipment Aids Chlorine Treatment for Pharmaceuticals
Medication Synthesis
Numerous pharmaceuticals contain some form of chlorine—there are currently over 250 FDA-approved chloro-containing drugs available on the market. Chlorine is capable of changing the properties of chemical compounds, which improves both the performance and purity of pharmaceuticals. Our advanced chlorination systems allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to continuously apply highly precise chlorine dosages during the creation of medicine.
Water Storage Decontamination
The water utilized in pharmaceutical plants can be stored in tanks for long periods of time. During this timeframe, it’s possible for microbacterial growth to occur. Given how even slight changes can affect the purity of pharmaceuticals, the presence of unwanted bacteria, pH fluctuations, and more can become a serious problem.
To promote water purification, chlorine is commonly used as a disinfectant. With our advanced, automated chlorination systems, plants can disinfect their water storage tanks by administering chlorine dosages at accurate intervals.
Why Choose Hydro Instruments?
Gas Feed Systems for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
As mentioned previously, accuracy is essential in the pharmaceutical industry. Unwanted changes in the drugs they produce can not only impact their effectiveness but also lead to expensive and dangerous mistakes.
Therefore, only the most accurate gas feed systems can be used in pharmaceutical processes. At Hydro Instruments, we’ve designed and manufactured gas feed technologies since 1978 and take great care to ensure all of the equipment we use is in perfect working order. Whether your plant needs a gas feed solution for tank water chlorination, medication synthesis, or other essential applications, you can rest assured you’re receiving the finest technology available.
Dependable Chlorine Gas Detectors for Pharmaceuticals
A chemical pipe leak at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant will cause severe delays, expensive damage, wasted resources, and other serious problems. As such, the integration of a reliable gas leak detector is vital for fast emergency responses and minimizing the issues they create as much as possible.
Hydro Instruments’ GA-180 gas alarm was designed not just with rapid responses and accurate sensors in mind but durability as well. We don’t cut corners when it comes to materials and only use ones that are strong and corrosion-resistant—ensuring your pharmaceutical processes are safeguarded for years to come.
