Power Solutions for the Pharmaceutical Industry



The importance of healthcare systems around the world is undeniable. An industry that is at the heart of the healthcare system is the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are responsible for developing and producing several medicinal products and other health-related products that heal and save the lives of millions of people every year.

Most of the pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are highly automated. Bulk chemicals are reduced to the required size by milling and micronizing machines, that pulverize substances into very fine particles. Then, these finished chemicals are mixed and processed further in mixing machines. These mixed ingredients can then be made into solutions, pressed to form tablets or are turned into capsules mechanically.

There is no doubt that the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals is a very important activity that requires to be done as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. However, until now some common issues that disrupt the operation of many industrial processes include short interruptions and voltage sags, especially for products that utilize electronics equipment. An example of such equipment are machines that perform filling, sealing and stamping of capsules automatically. Others are machines that fill containers with liquids, tablets, or capsules, and seal, label and package containers.

The precision and quality required in this industry, make pharmaceutical manufacturing an extremely sensitive process. The manufacturing process demands the compliance of rigorous sterility standards set by different drug regulatory bodies. Due to these reasons, it is essential to have a suitable power protection solution to achieve a continuous production output with no interruptions.

So what are options for power protection for the pharmaceutical industry?

Using equipment that is battery free can help to correct most of the common utility problems, such as voltage sags. They also provide sound protection and continuous regulation of voltage to ensure maximum productivity.This happens through a continuous, regulated utility voltage supply for operations that involve stressed, unreliable, or unstable electric infrastructure.

Trust and relationship building with power generation and solution providers are important. Thermax is among the top power generation companies in India. Their power division unit has commissioned over 100 different projects in India and all over the world. They are known for the equal emphasis they place on all kinds of power projects right from captive power plants to those in the utility sector.

What are Bi-Drum Boilers? How Do They Work?

Image
Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...

How Do Electrostatic Precipitators Work?

Image
Reducing air pollutants is vital for human health and the health of the environment. Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Pollutants also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility. Industries are largely responsible for causing pollution. They are also the ones who have access to a number of pollution control devices that absorb, filter, dilute, and disperse pollutants. One such device for pollution control is the electrostatic precipitator. This device works by removing particles and smoke from a gas stream using an electrostatic charge. Dust particles travel past wires that have a high direct current (DC) voltage applied, which ionises the surrounding gas. This corona discharge causes the particles to pick up a small electrostatic charge, without impeding the gas flow. Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used a...

Quick overview of the Import & Export of Chemicals in India

Image
The chemical industry in India offers building blocks and essential raw materials for numerous industries such as paints, paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, soap, and detergents, etc. Let’s go through a few statistics of the chemical industry: The chemical industry in India is ranked 4th in Asia and 6th in the world. The global chemical industry is expected to be worth $4.7 trillion. The chemical companies in India contributes 3.4% to the global chemical industry. As of 2018, the chemical industry (including pharmaceuticals and fertilizers) stood at $163 billion. The Chemical sector in India is expected to grow at 9% per annum to reach $304 Bn by FY 2025. The expansion is anticipated to be pushed by rising demand in end-use segments for Specialty Chemicals and also for petrochemical intermediates. In 2015-16, the Chemical and Chemical Products sector accounted for 2.39percent of the GVA, compared to 2.23percent in 2014-15.18 Note: With India possessing a l...
