NOBETH AH 72KW Fully Automatic Electric Steam Generator is used in the Pharmaceutical Industry

In the strict medical and pharmaceutical industry, steam can be roughly divided into industrial steam, process steam and pure steam according to purity requirements. Industrial steam is mainly used for heating non-direct contact products, and can be subdivided into ordinary industrial steam and chemical-free steam. Ordinary industrial steam refers to steam prepared by softening municipal water. It is an indirect influence system and is used for heating indirect contact with product processes. Generally, only the anti-corrosion of the system is considered.

Chemical-free steam refers to the steam prepared by adding flocculant to purified municipal water. It is an indirect influence system and is mainly used for air humidification, heating of non-direct contact products, sterilization of non-direct product process equipment, and waste materials. Inactivation of waste liquid, etc. Chemical-free steam should not contain volatile compounds such as ammonia and hydrazine.

process steam

Process steam is mainly used for heating and sterilizing products, and the condensate should meet urban drinking water standards.

pure steam

Pure steam is prepared by distillation. The condensate must meet the requirements for water for injection. Pure steam is prepared from raw water. The raw water used has been treated and at least meets the requirements for drinking water. Many companies will use purified water or water for injection to prepare pure steam. Pure steam contains no volatile additives and is therefore not contaminated by amine or hydrazine impurities, which is extremely important in preventing contamination of injectable products.

Steam sterilization applications

High-temperature steam sterilization is a sterilization method that can kill all microorganisms, including spores, and has the best sterilization effect.

In the pharmaceutical industry, high-temperature steam generated by steam generators is often used to sterilize production equipment and the production environment to prevent bacteria and other contaminants from affecting the drugs, and to avoid bacterial contamination of the active ingredients in the drugs, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the drugs and even the loss of the drugs. scrapped.

Steam purification and extraction applications

Steam generators play a role in the production process of many pharmaceutical compounds. For example, there are compounds in the raw materials of biopharmaceuticals. When we only need to purify one of them to make drugs, we can use pure steam generators to assist according to their different boiling points. The purification of compounds can also be carried out by distillation, extraction and formulation generation.
The steam generator is easy to use, can work continuously or regularly, and is easy to operate. It uses an advanced and dedicated PLC controller with stable performance, good production materials, and low energy consumption and low cost. The development of clean steam generators plays an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, saving human and material costs while also improving efficiency. This is in line with the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
