Charis at
Work.....Petrochemical
A large, well known U.S. diagnostic
pharmaceutical manufacturer were having problems with foam control in a production fermenter. The fitting
of a Charis Foam Control system had immediate effect in cost saving and
efficiency. Within a week antifoam use had dropped by 40% and product yield
rose by 15%. On investigation it was found that the pre Charis system had been
adding too much antifoam which had significantly reduced the efficiency of the
process. Due to Charis's unique IMA®Sensing
technology the foam probe remains active even when fouled with
product or residual foam thus ensuring accurate dosing of antifoam under all
conditions.
One of the problems with generated foam is that it can
significantly reduce the amount of headspace in a
fermenter, causing a reduction in product volume and thus a
reduction in effective through-put. By installing a
Charis Foam Control system a major British pharmaceutical company
reduced its foam problem and increased production through-put, giving a
significant saving in antifoam use together with a increase in production
efficiency.
