Traditionally the competencies required to fulfill those tasks were achieved piecemeal, through years of self-teaching and on-the-job experience—until now. \u003ci\u003ePractical Pharmaceutical Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e provides readers with the technical information and tools needed to deal with most common engineering issues that can arise in the course of day-to-day operations of pharmaceutical\/biotech research and manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngineers working in pharma\/biotech wear many hats. They are involved in the conception, design, construction, and operation of research facilities and manufacturing plants, as well as the scale-up, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling processes. They have to implement FDA regulations, validation assurance, quality control, and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance measures, and to maintain a high level of personal and environmental safety. This book provides readers from a range of engineering specialties with a detailed blueprint and the technical knowledge needed to tackle those critical responsibilities with confidence. At minimum, after reading this book, readers will have the knowledge needed to constructively participate in contractor\/user briefings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides pharmaceutical industry professionals with an overview of how all the parts fit together and a level of expertise that can take years of on-the-job experience to acquire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses topics not covered in university courses but which are crucial to working effectively in the pharma\/biotech industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFills a gap in the literature, providing important information on pharmaceutical operation issues required for meeting regulatory guidelines, plant support design, and project engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the basics of HVAC systems, water systems, electric systems, reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance, relevant to pharmaceutical engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Pharmaceutical Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable “tool of the trade” for chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, and pharmaceutical engineers employed by pharmaceutical and biotech companies, engineering firms, and consulting firms.
