Description

This module aims to provide students with a general knowledge and understanding of the main principles and methods of operation for cleaning systems, sanitisation of systems and the principal utilities involved for Biopharmaceutical processing. Students will develop an understanding of the common residues or soiling that occur in a biomanufacturing environment and the selection of appropriate cleaning agents for each situation. Discussion of critical utilities for water and steam will also be provided.     

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Identify and describe the types of residue that commonly occur in Biopharmaceutical Processing environments and the appropriate cleaning systems to cope with each, including COP and CIP

2.

Describe the key principles involved in the sanitisation of systems for Biopharmaceutical Processing including detergents, disinfectants etc

3.

Explain the key elements of a purified water treatment system including the generation of PW and WFI.

4.

List and describe other important utility systems for Biopharmaceutical Processing including Clean Steam, Process Air/Gases etc.

5.

Outline the main analytical technologies and techniques that apply to cleaning, sanitisation and utilities.

Teaching and Learning Strategies
