Effective Adsorbent and Filtration Technologies for Biotech & Pharmaceutical Products

Many applications of biotechnology—including creating new food products, developing biochemicals, brewing beverages, fostering life-saving pharmaceuticals, and incorporating genetically altered organisms for purifying water and managing waste—offer solutions to address some of the world’s greatest challenges such as inhibiting the spread of infectious diseases, countering hunger, and remedying the degradation of our environment. These products may be derived from living organisms or produced by chemical synthesis. These resulting therapies and biologics can be composed of sugars, proteins, nucleic acids or small stable synthetic molecules which are intended to prevent, treat or otherwise manage an associated medical condition. The diverse nature of the technologies utilized for manufacturing raw materials to finished and packaged product require a range of adsorbent and contaminant control methodologies to ensure pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers save time, improve processes and ensure patient safety.

Frequenty Asked Questions

How often should gas turbine filters be replaced?

This depends on the environment and filter type; however, pre-filters are changed every 3–6 months, while final filters may bechanged once in a year or two. Monitoring pressure drop is key to determiningreplacement timing.

What factors affect the operating life of a gas turbine filter?

Here are some factors:

  • Ambient dustand pollution levels
  • Operatinghours and load
  • Pulse-cleaningfrequency, depending on the type
  • Humidity andmoisture
  • Filter mediaand design

How do I know when a filter needs to be changed?

Differential pressure across the filter is animportant aspect in this case. If it increases beyond the set threshold, thefilter may be clogged or need cleaning or replacement.

What is pressure drop and why does it matter?

Pressure drop is the resistance to airflow through afilter. A high-pressure drop reduces turbine efficiency and increases energycosts. Selecting low-resistance filters helps improve performance.
