Filtration
An introduction to the filtration process in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) manufacturing, covering the theory behind filtration, the equipment used, and key process parameters. Through interactive visuals and explanations, learners will explore how solids are separated from liquids, the different types of filtration equipment, and the critical parameters that influence the filtration process. The module also highlights the importance of drying products after filtration to ensure quality and meet product specifications.
Whether for onboarding or annual refresher training, this Module is seamlessly deployable on any LMS and can be tailored to your company’s exact needs.
 Duration: 30 Mins
Grade: Core Library
Description
- Understand the Fundamentals of Filtration: Understand the basic process of filtration, including how solids are separated from liquids and the role of the filter medium in achieving effective separation.
