Clean Process Control & Monitoring: Safeguarding Drug Quality

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors prioritize hygiene classification, measurement accuracy, response speed, and data compliance. Pharmaceutical water processing involves filtration, reverse osmosis, distillation, and thermal storage; injection-grade distilled water must be stored at a minimum of 70°C, with conductivity adhering to pharmacopeial limits. In sterilization processes, temperature, pressure, and time are interdependent parameters; recorded data must be tamper-proof and comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Biopharmaceutical fermentation, separation, and homogenization are sensitive to pH, pressure, and contamination, requiring constant pressure to ensure reproducible production of active substances. Drying operations include lyophilization and spray drying, where certain areas pose explosion risks necessitating intrinsically safe sensors. Cleanrooms and isolator systems must maintain renewable climatic conditions for pressure, temperature, and humidity. CIP/SIP online cleaning requires wide-range conductivity measurements to determine the cleaning endpoint. Supporting 316L stainless steel sanitary temperature sensors, high-precision pressure and differential pressure transmitters, four-electrode conductivity cells, multi-measurement module instruments, multi-channel process controllers, and paperless recorders compliant with regulatory standards ensures process stability and product quality while meeting hygiene and compliance requirements.

Measurement and Control Solutions for the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries

Measurement and control solutions for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, featuring JUMO hygienic temperature sensors, pressure and differential pressure transmitters, conductivity electrodes and water analysis transmitters, multi-channel process controllers, and paperless recorders. These solutions cover seven key process stages: pharmaceutical water systems, sterilization and disinfection of pharmaceutical products, biopharmaceutical fermentation and production, drying, granulation and coating of fine additives, cleanrooms, gloveboxes, and CIP/SIP cleaning. They enable precise measurement of temperature, pressure, level, and conductivity, along with tamper-proof process data logging and compliant documentation management.

Use Cases

New installation and measurement control upgrades for water systems (WFI & PW), steam and gas sterilization equipment, fermenters and separation/homogenization systems, freeze-drying and spray-drying equipment, granulation and coating lines, cleanrooms and glove boxes, and CIP/SIP online cleaning systems in pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities.

Solve pain points

Water production is a critical process in the pharmaceutical industry. Water quality is a prerequisite for high-quality products. The filtration, reverse osmosis, distillation, and thermal storage stages require precise measurements of conductivity, temperature, and pressure.Filtration is required before reverse osmosis to prevent membrane clogging. Without differential pressure monitoring, it's impossible to determine the filter's remaining service life, leading to premature replacement or risk of blockage.The European Pharmacopoeia requires distilled water for injections to be stored under heat, with a minimum storage temperature of 70 °C. Inadequate monitoring of temperature and liquid level can compromise water quality compliance.In sterilization processes, temperature, pressure, and time are interdependent. Inaccurate or slow-responding instruments can compromise sterilization efficacy.

Solution Composition

Differential and Pressure Measurement: The JUMO delta p20Pro differential pressure transmitter (model 403522) precisely measures the remaining service life of filters based on increasing differential pressure, ensuring optimal filter utilization. The JUMO p20Pro pressure transmitter features a stainless steel measuring element, offering high accuracy, safety, and reliability for monitoring pressures in distillation processes and hydrostatic liquid levels in collection tanks. The JUMO DELOS S02 high-precision pressure transmitter includes contact switches, analog outputs, and an LCD display to show process pressure and switch status; its premium stainless steel construction and seamless front-flush measuring system make it ideal for hygienic-sensitive areas. The JUMO dTRANS p30 pressure transmitter ensures reliable, safe, and precise control of pressure during homogenization processes. The JUMO dTRANS p32 (model 402051) monitors dry gaseous media within glove boxes, utilizing a high-load piezoresistive measuring element. Hygienic Temperature Measurement: Temperature sensors specifically designed for ultra-pure water systems are constructed from 31 6L stainless steel with a surface roughness not exceeding 0.8 micrometers. These sensors offer rapid response times and can be equipped with hygienic process connections (clamp or welded sleeve). Insertable RTDs (model 902830) are available for steam sterilization applications. Recording and Compliance Documentation: The JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700 high-expansion paperless recorder is designed according to FDA data recording standards and complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. It supports documentation management for all pharmaceutical processes, recording production procedures that are tamper-proof. Features include online process data visualization, multiple limit monitoring programs, and remote alarms in case of faults. It can simultaneously record up to 3 fully independent process data sets while displaying and saving measured variables. When faults or errors occur, issues can be quickly identified via an integrated network server. Process Regulation and Control: The JUMO DICON touch multi-channel process regulator and controller meet demands for both low and high-pressure measurements. User-configurable screens allow operators to view personalized process settings on-site. Recording capabilities ensure full process reproducibility, supporting optimized control for freeze-drying processes and precise temperature/pressure control for coating suspension processes.
