The new Type 'R' Pharma membrane filtration pilot plant from GEA Filtration provides accurate test results, with reliable scale-up to full production, for the recovery of a wide range of active pharmaceutical and bio-tech products in accordance with cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice).

The Type 'R' Pharma is suitable for use in clean rooms to perform pilot studies on the full range of filtration technologies (Micro-filtration, Ultra filtration, Nano-filtration and Reverse Osmosis) and uniquely has the versatility to house a variety of membrane configurations with a membrane area of up to 14 m2. - including spirally wound, ceramic, and hollow fibre.

It is designed for batch or continuous operation and automatic CIP (Cleaning in Place).

The Type 'R' produces accurate results that are replicated during full production. To achieve this GEA has taken great care in the plant's design. All the plant's components and instruments have been carefully chosen to provide maximum safety and accuracy. The plant uses frequency-controlled pumps to minimise product damage, limit the addition of heat and maintain correct operating parameters over a wide range of pressures and flowrates.

Various control options are available dependant upon location and site philosophy using either conventional controllers for the various process parameters including feed pressure, recirculation flow, and operating temperatures with the option of data logging of the key process parameters in accordance with FDA CFR 21 pt 11, through to fully automatic PLC controlled plant start up and operation requiring the minimum of operator supervision and intervention.

The new Type 'R' Pharma is also available in XP form for use with non-water solvent systems with potentially explosive characteristics.
