Biofilms in Water Systems - Reasons and Solutions

Transcription

1 Microrite, Inc. brings you this unique learning experience in ; Part of Microrite s step-by-step webinar series. Learn where biofilms are helpful in water processing, and where they are detrimental. It seems High Purity water systems are characterized by their ability to prolifically grow bacteria-right? Is this a misnomer? High Purity water is routinely used to inhibit microbial growth outside of the Pharmaceutical Industry. Only the Bio Pharm Industry relies upon heat for microbial control. The Semiconductor Industry never uses heat to control microbiology, and they have much stricter microbial specifications for their process water. In fact, the Semiconductor Industry produces High Purity water of less than 1 cfu/ 10 ltr routinely, and has done so for over 30 years. They operate their water systems at ambient temperature and almost never sanitize anything. We operate all of our Biopharmaceutical water systems the same way. In this Webinar, we will teach where biofilms in a water system CANNOT be removed and where to leave biofilms alone to actually assist with the purification process. Most importantly, we will show you how to produce product water that is essentially microbiologically free with no detectable endotoxin.. and never sanitize anything. This results in the following benefits: Continuously available high purity water No downtime for sanitizations No utility support for hot water sanitizations Reduced cost for materials of constructions When? October 1 st, :30pm to 3:30pm Eastern Daylight Time Which industries does this webinar apply to? Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Medical Device, Waste Water, and In Vitro Diagnostics Who will benefit? QA, Facilities, Manufacturing, Microbiology, Validation, and Training Personnel

2 October 1 st, 2015 This 2 hour webinar will include: Pretreatment Microbial Control Problems RO Biofouling - Learn why RO biofilms are a symptom, not a cause of problems Learn why hot water sanitizations do not solve microbial problems Learn how distribution design will prevent microbiological proliferation without sanitization Learn how Action Limits may be used to eliminate sanitization with QA/QC approval Distribution and Points of Use Design guidelines Can an ambient distribution system NOT grow biofilm? Who will be teaching? Bob Livingston is the Chief Technical Officer of Arion Water, Inc., a 30-year-old Water System Equipment and Service provider. Arion provides expert consulting, design, engineering, turnkey systems and analytical testing addressing all aspects of high purity water for pharmaceutical, semiconductor and related industries. Arion Water provides ambient USP and HP Purified Water Systems that require no sanitization.
