Requirements / Guidelines
For the production of water for pharmaceutical applications, the pharmacopoeias require water of drinking water quality as the basic material. In addition, our plant design is based on the following standard conditions:
Drinking Water Conductivity Total Hardness Iron Manganese Silica SiO2 Total Organic Carbon TOC Silt Density Index SDI 15 Others
acc. to TrinkwV 2001 < 1,000 S/cm < 20 dH < 0.05 ppm < 0.05 ppm < 20 ppm < 2 ppm < 3 free of oxidantes
Should the raw water not meet these conditions, additional raw water treatment stages may be necessary.
The different pharma water qualities are defined in the pharmacopoeias: European Pharmacopoeia (EP) Purified Water ( Aqua purificata) Highly Purified Water (Aqua valde purificata) Water for Injection ( Aqua ad iniectabile) United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Purified Water (PW) Water for Injection (WFI)
Purified Water (PW, Aqua Purificata - AP) is water for the preparation of medicines other than those
that are required to be both sterile and apyrogenic, unless otherwise justified and authorised.
Water for Injection (WFI) is water for the preparation of medicines for parenteral administration
when water is used as vehicle (water for injection in bulk) and for dissolving or diluting of substances or preparations for parenteral administration (sterilised water for injection).
Highly Purified Water (HPW) is intended for the use in the preparation of the medicinal products
where water of high biological quality is needed, except where Water for Injection is required.
Requirements / Guidelines
The quality of pharma water for the production of drugs and active agents is defined in the United States, European and other country-specific pharmacopoeias:

Softening
Softeners are an elementary process component of a water treatment plant for the production of highly purified water in accordance with USP/EP. The perfect and reliable functioning of the downstream membrane processes such as reverse osmosis and electrodeionisation can only be ensured by the complete elimination of the hardness components Calcium and Magnesium contained in the raw water. We offer two alternative designs:
PHARMASOFT
a volume-controlled softener with central control valve and concurrent regeneration
ECOSOFT
a volume-controlled softener with single valve control and salt- and water-conserving countercurrent regeneration The advantages our softeners offer are the fail-safe and cost-effective operation. The connection in series provides a reliable protection against hardness breakthroughs. Additionally, hardness breakthroughs are detected by a residual hardness meter (optional). Short regeneration cycles, high flow rates and continuous flow through the resin beds result in a reduction of the microbial growth potential in standard operation. The microbiology in the resin bed is controlled by regular automatic sanitisations with chemicals, hot water (80 or hot brine (60 C) C). Our PHARMASOFT has been designed as an automatic duplex softener with concurrent regeneration. The start of the automatic regeneration cycle is volume-controlled by a water meter. The unit is chemically sanitised.

Softening
ECOSOFT is a volume- and water consumption-controlled softener which features a very low specific salt consumption that is achieved by state-of-the-art countercurrent regeneration. Compared to the conventional concurrent technology, the salt and water consumption is about 30% lower.
With the ECOSOFT TS, the microbiology in the resin beds is effectively destroyed and removed periodically through sanitisation with hot brine (>60 developed by C), SH + E Group. The sanitisation process is carried out automatically at short intervals without having to interrupt pharma water production. The sanitisation interval can be shortened or extended as required.

WFI generation
The DESTOMAT multiple effect water still with its unique falling-film evaporation technology features an innovative patented column design and enhanced process technology and offers an even higher output, energy efficiency and dependability. The DESTOMAT WFI generation unit is supplied with purified water from our ROCEDIS units. This prevents hazardous water components such as hardness, silicates, amines, chlorides, free carbon dioxide, TOC and conductivity from being fed in, ensuring stable operation under safe compliance with USP, EP and JP for many years.
The distillation columns are equipped with important new functions, thus ensuring their suitability for different customer requirements and operating environments. Distillation against backpressure, recirculation of non-evaporated feedwater, continuous blowdown measurement, the possibility of self-sanitisation and proportional control are just some of the unique process features which are available optionally.
The core of the DESTOMAT distillation unit is the separation column a falling-film evaporator of new compact design (patent applied for) which safely eliminates impurities through high velocities in spiralshaped baffle plates, an immediate phase transition from liquid to vapour state (flash evaporation) and a reversal of the direction of flow. For an effective gas elimination, optionally the first column is fitted with an integrated gas separator, while the subsequent columns have a gas outlet. The units are equipped with a commercially available programmable logic controller (PLC) from Siemens. An operator panel from Siemens is installed to enable detection of the units current operating state or intervention in the automatic operation of the unit.

The core of the VAPOMAT is a separator column which safely removes pyrogens and other impurities through high velocities, immediate phase transition from liquid to vapour state (flash evaporation), reversal of the direction of flow and centrifugal separation via spiral-shaped baffle plates. Demisters are not required. For an effective gas elimination, the column is equipped with an integrated gas separator. A unique feature is the continuous recycling of nonevaporated feed water into the process (circulation). This results in an efficient sanitisation of the piping and a reduced feed water and heating steam consumption.
The collection and continuous separation of the non-evaporated water droplets at the column bottom ensures a constant quality, even if different volumes are drawn off.

The ozonized SANICIRCLE contains an electrolytic Ozone generator in the supply pipe of the loop. The generator continuously produces Ozone from a partial stream of the purified water with a specially developed electrolytic cell. As usually the purified water must be free of Ozone at the consumers, the Ozone is removed in the loop supply pipe to below detection limit by a pharma-compliant UV unit which requires a radiation dose of not less than 900 J/m at 254 nm. In addition, the UV radiation of 200 to 300 nm has a germicidal effect by rendering the bacteria DNA inactive. The entire loop system is sanitised periodically by switching off the UV unit.
Our SANICIRCLE for sanitisation of the storage and distribution system with Ozone has the following features:
UV unit with stainless steel reactor housing, low-pressure radiator and individual monitoring of the UV radiators Ozone generator with stainless steel electrolytic cell Continuous monitoring of the Ozone concentration at three control points by a calibratable meter Option: DTS heat exchanger (cooler) to avoid an undesirable temperature rise

Piping systems
As a vendor of turn-key systems for purified utilities, we assume the overall responsibility from generation to the user. Taking into consideration the peak loads, the maximum daily requirement, the flow velocity, the pressure and temperature, we plan the pipe routing inside the building together with our customers. Pressure drop calculations, as well as a comprehensive documentation are part of our scope of services. CAD technology according to the latest state of the art is used for planning and project design. Structures with little dead space, optimum surface qualities, the use of suitable materials (316L or PVDF) for the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the use of orbital welding technology result in a reliable quality of the loop systems for PW, HPW and WFI or of the piping systems for Pure Steam. Experienced engineers support our customers in the planning and execution of tap management systems.

Sanitary design Suitable mixing devices Cleaning or intermediate cleaning Product losses Dosing accuracy Traceability Batch separation Drainability Separation of different media (double block and bleed) Sanitisability / sterilisability
As a rule, the project starts with the user requirement specification (URS). From this, the functional specifications (flow diagram and functional description) are developed. The system is finally defined by means of the subsequent design specification (DS). We firmly believe that each production process should commence with cleaning, sterilisation or sanitisation. Only a system that is free from residues and bioactive materials will allow safe and perfect production. The CIP / SIP station must be designed accordingly. Cleaning is carried out in three subsequent steps:
Transport of the destabilising energy carrier to the contamination (mechanically, thermally, chemically) Destabilisation by converting the contamination into a transportable condition by the chemical and physical action of the cleaning agents Removal of the destabilised contamination from the surface
The contact temperature and time of the cleaning media used are constant during the cleaning time. The batching of the cleaning agents is reproducible. Any mixing of the cleaning media with the operating media, raw materials or products must be prevented.
Physical-chemical treatment by sedimentation or flotation Aerobic/anaerobic biological treatment in membrane bioreactors or bio-aeration Inactivation of active substances by UV oxidation together with ozone or hydrogen peroxide Sterilisation and decontamination of infectious and bioactive substances from biotechnology
The waste waters from drug production are treated by means of neutralisation and sludge separation. A biological stage with downstream MBR membrane unit treats the waste water in accordance with discharge requirements. In many cases, the purity achieved allows the waste water to be reused for secondary purposes. An anaerobic stage provides the possibility to generate energy by utilising the biogas produced.
Automation
Our systems, equipped with state-of-the-art control systems, ensure dependable operation and provide the data for quality and process control. Our automation concept is developed and qualified according to GAMP guidelines and the EEC-GMP guide. Its core is a commercially available programmable logic control system (PLC/SPS) from Siemens. The automation concept by SH + E Group is based on a modular design. Each modular unit has its own switch cabinet with control system and software. This concept results in a higher fail-safety because the individual units operate autonomously. Data exchange between the units is effected by an in-plant Ethernet. According to our standard, operator control and visualisation of the overall plant is implemented by a Siemens Touch Panel.
Control section
The configuration inside the switch cabinet follows a modular concept by separating the modules for internal and external signal processing. This considerably simplifies cabling and servicing. The power and control section voltage levels are set up and cabled separately as far as possible.
Automation
To assure independent operation of the production and/or distribution system during maintenance or repair, each switch cabinet is equipped with its own control system:

Automation
We know we can rely on the modular units of Series S7/ ET200S. Sensor and actuator cables can be connected directly to the units without intermediate terminal. This provides flexibility for upgrading and considerably simplifies troubleshooting for servicing.
A colour operator control panel from Siemens is installed to allow detection of the current operating state of the system or intervention in the automatic sequence of the system.
Automation
To safeguard the automatic program runs of the system, an individual Step 7 program is developed and transmitted to the PLC. This program coordinates the switching of all actuators and responds to the sensor signals and information read in. The automation concept is based on the standard software and standard blocks of Siemens. For the development of systems and unit software, SH + E Group created a comprehensive pool of standard blocks. These blocks were tested and qualified together with the display driver blocks for the visualisation systems. A specification document explaining and documenting the functioning, parameters and tests was prepared for each block. The part to be qualified is reduced through the use of these software standards because only the new linkings between the standard blocks have to be qualified.
For planning of circuit diagrams and switch cabinets, SH + E Group relies on the EPLAN P8 planning tool. This tool allows a modular design and qualification of the planning course by means of standardised macro plans.
The Siemens standard software WinCC flexible forms the basis for operator control and visualisation. Standardised software modules from SH + E Group are used for the system-specific application software.
Automation
Access to the operator panel is protected by passwords of different levels. For user identification, entering the ID and the password is required. Code word ageing can also be activated. Four operator levels are provided for access protection: Level 0: No password protection. Only information can be read (display selection and fault indications) Level 1: Plus operation of the system Level 2: Plus parameter setting Level 3: Plus password administration
All setting parameters of the system are deposited in a formulation as a security backup. After the parameters have been altered, they can be stored by pressing a key and are available for a recovery procedure if necessary. The process values are displayed as trend curves. Reading of the values is supported by a reading line.
Process values and messages are stored in internal data archives by WinCC flexible/ Archives. This allows long-term documentation and evaluation of the process course. To determine whether the data has been altered subsequently, the stored process data is given a checksum. Recorded and archived data is cyclically swapped out to an external memory or monitoring system.
Automation
If faults occur during system operation, e.g. increase in conductivity, the software generates an alarm signal. If the system has to be shut down, it goes to a fail-safe state. Alarms are signaled by an indicator. The faulty component (meter, motor) is displayed in red on the process display. At the same time, an alarm window with details of the alarm is displayed, allowing fast diagnosis. All alarms are stored in a fault alarm buffer and archived.
Optionally, selective operator interventions can be recorded and archived by means of an AuditTrail package. This documents the change history of the process. Fault alarms are collected and applied to a floating contact. Optionally, the alarms can also be made available at an interface, e.g. Ethernet, for relaying to a control centre. A Sm@rtServer is installed on the operator panel. Under the Sm@rtClient concept, the system can be operated and observed via a Client to be provided by the customer, thus creating a full operator terminal. On request, we can offer you a design in accordance with 21CFR Part 11, with electronic recorder or software to guarantee conformity with 21CRF Part 11. We offer our customers easy operation and observation through our remote service. Our systems are equipped with a modem for remote maintenance as standard.
