Description

Pharmaceutical Processing Technology details the diverse array of manufacturing processes & equipment employed in the pharmaceutical industry, in combination with the product packaging techniques and material selection criteria used for each formulation type.

Learning Outcomes

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

1.

Understand the process of chemical dispensing, methods and equipment.

2.

To describe the cleaning requirements of process equipment and methods employed by industry to combat this requirement.

3.

To detail the mainstream systems and equipment used for generation of EP and USP grade water for Pharm/Biopharma production and manufacture.

4.

To demonstrate a knowledge of the various information technology applications operating in the pharmaceutical industry.

5.

To demonstrate how non sterile Pharma/cosmetic products are manufactured, processed and the packaging options/requirements suited to each type of formulation.

6.

To demonstrate a knowledge of the methods for biologic manufacture, purification and primary fill/packaging requirements for this type formulation.

7.
