Flow diagram of Pharmaceutical plant....

Flow diagram of Pharmaceutical plant....

Flow diagram of Pharmaceutical plant....

(OP)
Hello all,

         I have been scanning the net for a diagram of the configuration of a typical pharmaceutical plant with little joy! Basically, I just want a flow diagram (or block diagram) of how the various components link up in the process. I'm an Mech Engineer and not a chemical so that is why I am green on this issue.
Would be extrememely grateful if any of you guys could point me in the direction to find this info.

                     Cheers,

The PFD would depend a lot on the process.

RE: Flow diagram of Pharmaceutical plant....

I have been in Pharma for past 8 years and yet to find a generic version of such a configuration. What type of manufacturing facility you are looking for(API, Tablets, Capsules, LVP, SVP and Aerosols etc?). Be specific with your question for more help.

Cheers guys,

           sure, my lack of any real knowledge of chemical plant/process/product is letting me down alright. However, the type of facilty I'm primarily interested in obtaining a process diagram for would be one producing bulk active pharmaceutical products. (Not sure if that sheds much more light on things?). Of the list quark has mentioned I would say a tablet producing pharm plant would best fit the bill.

                    Thousand Thanks,
                     Tim

odonovane,

RE: Flow diagram of Pharmaceutical plant....

What we are trying to say is: There is no "standard PFD". A plant that makes generic asperin would be a lot different from a site that ferments penniciline.

Best regards
