At this two day session focused on pharmaceutical water and gas systems, hear from recognized and respected experts in the pharmaceutical water, steam and gas utility community. They will address a wide range of topics from an engineering, quality, and regulatory perspective.

At no other conference in the United States this year will you encounter such a collection of subject matter experts.

In addition to these leading engineers, you will be among other users and practitioners in the audience to participate in the open forums. Finally, you will be in a position to contribute directly to the update of the Water and Steam Guide, and the creation of the Good Practice Guide for Gas Utilities.

Day 1 is dedicated to industry hot topics and case studies such as applications of ozone sanitization, pre-treatment systems, analytical detection methods for rouge impact, rapid microbiological methods (RMMs), and alternative methods of water for injection (WFI) production.

Day 2 is an overview of the ISPE Water and Steam Baseline® Guide update which is planned for 2009. In addition to providing an overview of changes to existing chapters, there will be an emphasis on new chapters and international perspectives. Also, Day 2 will review the status of the planned Good Practice Guide for Gas Utilities. Each day will also have an open forum for exchange of ideas, experiences, and extensive questions.

How You Will Benefit

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand real-world case studies of sanitization by ozone and non-traditional methods of WFI production;
  • Describe emerging technologies in RMM and rouge detection;
  • Interpret insights on FDA methods for inspection of water systems;
  • Understand the challenges faced by other critical utility engineers; and
  • Review, respond, and contribute to the update of the ISPE Water and Steam Baseline® Guide and the Good Practice Guide for Gas Utilities.

Who Should Attend

Utilities engineers, water system designers, facilities engineers, equipment and design engineers, process engineers, quality professionals, users of the Guide, and those interested in the new guidance that will address gas, supplies, gas delivery systems, and facilities management.

Benefits those new to the industry, critical utilities operators, designers, maintenance, as well as experienced persons who are interested in contributing to the Guide revision. Also, anyone with interest in validation, commissioning, critical utilities, project managers, facilities engineers, and systems operation.
