The purity of compressed air is a decisive factor in the pharmaceutical industry
One of the most demanding types of industry is pharmaceuticals, because the products must be of high quality and meet strict criteria.
Compressors International successfully implemented the supply and installation of an integrated air compressor station based on Gardner Denver Deutschland GmbH and Donaldson Filtration Deutschland equipment to the enterprise PJSC Farmak, Kiev, the leader of the pharmaceutical market in Ukraine. The history of the company is 90 years old, and the quality of the products is the best in the country.
For PJSC "Farmak", as for any pharmaceutical company, the purity of compressed air is the decisive factor. At such enterprises it is very important to use high-efficiency air compressors and a complex of purification equipment for obtaining compressed air of the highest class, without impurity content.
In 2013, the management of PJSC "Farmak" decided to update the compressor equipment for high-tech and energy-saving solutions, using the most modern technologies.
The main criterion for choosing a new compressor station was absolutely clean "oil-free" compressed air, without any impurities, fully meeting the quality standards ISO 8573-1, Class 0, as well as technologies that significantly save the power consumption of screw compressors.
Among the proposals, Compressors International, the leading Ukrainian company in the field of innovative compressor solutions for industrial production enterprises, gained an advantage.
Compressors International has developed a project for a new high-efficiency compressor station using the equipment of the leading compressor manufacturer, Gardner Denver Deutschland GmbH, as well as high-performance adsorption dryers and fine filter network filters Donaldson Filtration Deutschland.
For PJSC "Farmak" compressors Gardner Denver series Enviro Aire TVS were selected. The Enviro Aire TVS series compressors have an international quality certificate ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0, which means 100% pure, oil-free, compressed air. Screw air compressors of this series are designed for continuous operation where absolute reliability and efficiency are required.
Screw compressors of the EnviroAire TVS series excellently cope with the changing needs for compressed air that are available in most manufacturing plants. The variable speed compressor provides significant savings in consumed power and a stable and uninterrupted supply of production lines with compressed air.
Compressed air in pharmaceutical companies is the main driving force behind the production of medicines.
Compressor equipment at PJSC "Farmak" uses compressed air for ampoule and tablet production.
The Gardner Denver compressors of the EnviroAire TVS series have a high-quality electric motor, a reliable cooling system and the ability to operate under severe climatic conditions up to + 45 ° C.
Gardner Denver compressors of this series are equipped with a monitoring system GD Pilot TS, which has a high-resolution touch screen, it is convenient and easy to use. All functions are collected in five main menus, and intuitively understandable for the operator and maintenance personnel.
The multilingual control system GD Pilot TS ensures reliable operation, and protects your investment by constantly monitoring the operational parameters that are necessary to reduce running costs.
Compressed air supplied by the compressor for the production of medicinal products requires cleaning from the atmospheric moisture that can be contained in it. In this regard, in addition to compressors with the technology of "dry compression" Gardner Denver adsorption dryers were supplied by Donaldson Filtration Deutschland.
Driers Donaldson Filtration Deutschland is an innovative solution in the field of cleaning and preparation of compressed air for industrial plants.
The most energy-efficient adsorption air dryers Ultra Dryer HRE 2750 SP, equipped with Ultracenty dew point control system, Donaldson Filtration Deutschland, have been supplied to PJSC Farmak.
Adsorption dryers of this series can significantly reduce or completely eliminate the loss of expensive compressed air for the regeneration of columns with adsorbent. Analog measurement and control devices help to ensure maximum safety of operation, as well as optimum energy consumption. The main advantage of dehumidifiers is the constant maintenance of the dew melting - 70 ° C, in accordance with the most stringent standards for the medical industry.
In addition to the compressor station, Compressors International has provided installation of Donaldson Filtration Deutschland fine filter network, Ultrafilter series, Microfilter MF 0432 and Sub Microfilter SMF SG 0432, which are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where high quality of fine filtration is required. The most important is the fact that all filters have been selected by the company individually according to requirements, and provide the most effective, combined reliability and security solution. Ultrafilter compressed air filters guarantee the absence of solid particles and impurities in compressed air, and provide an effective filtration of 99.999%.
To top it all off, on-line control system AirLink Supervisor, developed by specialists of Compressors International, was installed on the compressor equipment to achieve full automation in production and on the compressor equipment. This system allows you to receive in on-line mode a maximum of operational information about the status of equipment, parameters of operation and the current mode.
The innovative AirLink Supervisor system collects signals from all digital and analog sensors via the Modbus protocol installed on the compressor station equipment, processes them, and sends them via the Internet to the Compressors International Service Center for round-the-clock monitoring and monitoring.
The main menu of the program graphically shows all compressor equipment, including dehumidifiers and additional equipment.
Each compressor is represented as a set of pictograms of individual units, which gives the customer the ability to monitor the entire process of air compression and monitor the air pressure and temperature parameters from the suction valve to the discharge valve.
In addition, the status of the main motor, the position of the valves, the pressure, the temperature of the compressed air, and, importantly, the amount of compressed air produced by the compressor are visually displayed. For air quality control, the AirLink Supervisor displays the dew point temperature of the compressed air being pumped.
Design, installation and commissioning at PJSC Farmak were carried out by specialists of the Compressors International Service Department. Our engineers perform routine repairs, a complex overhaul of the screw block, the design of compressor stations and recovery systems. The company offers a large name of spare parts available in warehouses throughout Ukraine.
The project implemented by Compressors International at PJSC Farmak provided excellent efficiency of the entire production cycle. The energy savings at the plant were achieved thanks to the compressor equipment of the world's leading manufacturers, such as Gardner Denver GmbH and Donaldson Filtration Deutschland, as well as a high level of automation of control and modern monitoring and control technologies.
