Water for Pharmaceutical Use Part 2: Water purification engineering

1. Water for Pharmaceutical UsePart 2: Water purification engineering Supplementary Training Modules on Good Manufacturing Practice

2. Objectives To examine the basic technology and requirements for: • Water treatment systems • Storage requirements • Sampling and testing • Different types of water used in pharmaceuticals • Microbial limits, disinfection

3. Water system design • Pipes sloped so water does not pool and can drain easily • Sanitary fittings & connections • Constructed of suitable materials such as stainless steel • Circulate the water • Incorporate non-return valves (NRV)

4. Further water treatment purification stages downstream of the pre-treatment system • Filtration • Disinfection • Reverse osmosis or de-ionization • Distillation or ultra-filtration

5. D Flow direction arrows on pipes are important Deadleg section X <2D If D=25mm & distance X isgreater than 50mm, we have a dead leg that is too long. Sanitary Valve Water scours deadleg Water system design (1) There should be no dead legs

6. Water system design (2) 1. Ball valves are unacceptable 2. Bacteria can grow when the valve is closed 3. The water is contaminated as it passes through the valve Stagnant water inside valve

7. Water system design (3) • Sanitary pumps • Clamps and O rings versus threaded fittings • Heat exchangers • Side arm level measuring devices are unacceptable

Typical 2-stage RO schematic Water from softener or de-ioniser Second stage reject water goes back to first stage buffer tank 1st stage buffer tank First stage RO cartridge Branch Branch 1st stage reject concentrate First stage filtrate feeds second stage RO with excess back to 1st stage buffer tank . Air break to sewer Second stage RO cartridge 2nd stage buffer tank High pressure pump Cartridge filter 1 µm Hygienic pump Second stage RO water meets Pharmacopoeia standards Water returns to 1st stage buffer tank Outlets or storage

11. Use of reverse osmosis • Advantages • Disadvantages • Many uses • purified water • feeding of distillation units or ultra-filtration units • Water for Final Rinse • Water for Injections (if permissible)

12. Ultra-filtration • Can be used for WFI or for Water For Final Rinsing for parenteral manufacturing (if permitted) • Removes organic contaminants, such asendotoxins • Operation at 80°C, and sterilization at 121 °C

13. Single-effect distillation • simple distillation, single effect • vapour compression, thermo compression • Multi effect distillation • multiple effect stills • Clean steam generators • used where steam can come into contact with product contact surfaces, e.g. sterilization-in-place (SIP)

14. Typical water storage and distribution schematic Hydrophobic air filter & burst disc Feed Water from DI or RO Cartridge filter 1 µm Spray ball Water must be kept circulating Optional in-line filter 0,2 µm UV light Outlets Heat Exchanger Air break to drain Ozone Generator Hygienic pump

15. Disinfection (1) Heat • One of the most reliable methods of disinfection of water systems Ozone • Produced easily • Leaves no residue

16. Disinfection (2) UV • UV does not “sterilize” • Flow rate critical • Post-irradiation recontamination may be an issue • Lamps have finite life Other chemicals • XO2 • Halogen • Formaldehyde

17. Sampling (1) • There must be a sampling procedure • Sample integrity must be assured • Sampler training • Sample point • Sample size

18. Sampling (2) • Sample container • Sample label • Sample storage and transport • Arrival at the laboratory • Start of test

19. Testing - setting specifications for purified water or WFI - (1) Ph. Eur. JP USP Int.

20. Testing - setting specifications for purified water or WFI (2) Ph. Eur. JP USP Int. Ph Conductivity (µS/cm)- - < 1.3 - Oxidizable subs. pass test pass test - pass test Solids (ppm) < 10< 10 - nmt(*) 10 TOC (ppm) - < 0.5 < 0.5 - Heavy metals - - - pass test CO2 - - - pass test

21. Testing • Method verification • Chemical testing • Microbiological testing • test method • types of media used • incubation time and temperature • objectionable and indicator organisms • manufacturer must set specifications

22. Water for Injections • International pharmacopoeia requirements for WFI are those for purified water plus it must be free from pyrogens • Usually prepared by distillation • Storage time should be less than 24 hours • Microbial limits must be specified

23. Water for Final Rinse • Water for final rinse must be of the same quality as the water required for pharmaceutical preparation

24. Pyrogens and endotoxins • Any compound injected into mammals which gives rise to fever is a “Pyrogen” • Endotoxins are pyrogenic, come from Gram negative bacterial cell wall fragments • Detectendotoxins using a test for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) • rabbit test detects pyrogens • LAL test detects endotoxins • Ultrafiltration, distillation, &ROmay remove pyrogens
