BIO06016 2019 Cleaning, Sanitisation and Utilities
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;
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
Describe the key principles involved in the sanitisation of systems for Biopharmaceutical Processing including detergents, disinfectants etc
Explain the key elements of a purified water treatment system including the generation of PW and WFI.
List and describe other important utility systems for Biopharmaceutical Processing including Clean Steam, Process Air/Gases etc.
Outline the main analytical technologies and techniques that apply to cleaning, sanitisation and utilities.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered part time. It will include lectures augmented by independent learning and directed learning. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 50% continuous and 50% final exam.
Repeat Assessments
