Operators must be knowledgeable about the processes they work with on a daily basis. They should understand the why behind API processes and not just the how.
Process Understanding for API/Bulk Operators provides all of the information necessary to give a trainee a firm grasp of the basics of API/Bulk processes and ultimately make SOP and On-the-Job Training more efficient.
This course begins with the fundamentals of controlling and monitoring chemical reactions. The key API processes are examined in detail including crystallisation, distillation and reflux, drying and filtration.
Also explained are the symbols used to represent key process equipment, pipe-work and gauges and the interpretation of basic Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs). The importance of water in API processes is underscored by an in-depth examination of the different grades of water required in an API facility and the tests used to determine water purity. The most common water contaminants are discussed along with the different treatments used to purify water before it can be used in a chemical process.
Topics Covered:
- Chemical Reactions – Introduction - Chemical Reactions – Properties - Distillation & Reflux - Crystallization - Drying - Filtration - Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) - Water Types & Testing - Water Impurities & Treatment
