Electrochemical Treatments for Removal of Biofilm in Pharmaceutical Sterile Water Systems

Pharmaceutical companies depend heavily on sterile water systems to maintain safe production environments which prevent product contamination. The formation of biofilms remains one of the primary obstacles that operators face when trying to maintain these systems. Microbes form biofilms which attach themselves to surfaces while being protected by an extracellular matrix which makes their eradication extremely challenging. Biofilms interfere with […]

Standard Operating Procedure for Mechanical, Chemical, Acid Washes, and Hot Water Sanitization: Cleaning and Disinfection of Biofilm

Microbial communities that generate an organic framework create extensive challenges for water systems alongside industrial pipelines and medical equipment. Biofilms generate major sanitation challenges when they grow on surfaces. Successful biofilm removal results from using a combination of manual cleaning tools with chemical solutions which apply acidic washes together with hot steam systems. This standard operating procedure provides systematic instructions […]
