BIOPROCESSING PLANT DESIGN
The
foregoing discussion focused on major elements of bioprocessing activities,
namely water treatment and reactor design. Heating, ventilation, and air
con-ditioning (HVAC) and steam production, described elsewhere in this text,
are also requirements for bioprocessing. The design of a bioprocessing plant is
subject to cGMPs, which emphasize control and reproducibility. It is clear that
the application of such principles to other pharmaceutical processes of a more
mechanical nature may readily be achieved. The biological nature of the
pro-cesses being controlled challenges the engineers and scientists involved.
As
with any regulated process, specifications must be prepared in advance and
acceptance criteria established for subsequent quality control checks.
Vali-dation of the facility and process should be considered essential to
design, construction, and start-up. Documentation of design and construction
ensures appropriate specifications for subsequent validation.
