MCDP & PSG
Multicolumn Distillation Plant
Gem pharma’s Multicolumn Distillation plant (MCDP) is designed to free water of germs and other impurities, making it sterile. The plant works on the principle of heat exchanger, which in turn helps to reduce the energy required in the water system. It produces pyrogen-free water at a much lower setup and cost as compared to the conventional methods.

• Steam Pressure reducing station with diaphragm type valve to adjust the steam pressure from 2 Kg/cm² to 7 Kg/cm² with an indicating pressure gauge.
• A part of feed water (approx. 30-33%) on the inside of the heat exchanger tubes is converted to steam because of surface film evaporation.
• A predetermined minimum amount passes through the column which causes both rapid heating of feed water and rapid cooling of boiler steam, therefore creating vapours at high velocity under pressure.
• This vapour rising through the entertained section is subjected to a 180 turn caused by centrifugal force.
• Due to spiralling motion, pure vapour rises upward through a vertical section outside the heat exchanger. Due to this unique centrifugal separation technique, the impurities such as endotoxins and pyrogen are removed.
• The purified vapour (steam) then moves towards the upper portion of the column.
• The pure steam in the first column serves as the source of heat for the second column. This process is repeated in all the 4 to 5 columns or more. Each column is working at a slightly lower temperature and pressure than the proceeding one.
• The heating energy requirements are reduced by 70% as external heat is required to vaporise only 30% of the feed water.

Pure Steam Generator
As per cGMP requirements it is recommended to use Pure Steam in place of filtered plant steam. This steam is used for all in-situ sterilization of vessels, Piping Distribution systems, autoclaves, and for humidification of sterile rooms. This will prevent contamination by particulate matter, organics and biological loads like Pyrogen, which is unavoidable in the case of plant (black) steam.
Gem Pharma manufactures Pure Steam Generators to meet cGMP requirements. Condensate of this pure steam produced meets all pharmacopoeia requirements of WFI like USP, IP, BP and JP. The plant is manufactured as per FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and ASME requirements.
Pure Steam generated from this equipment also surpasses steam quality tests like non-condensable gases, degree of super heat and saturation test as per requirement. Gem Pharma has developed improvised equipment for removal of these gases before pure steam is produced.
Care is taken while designing to avoid crevices, which promote stagnation and stimulate bacterial growth. All contact parts where the Pure Steam is generated in this plant are electro polished. All pipe joints are orbitally welded. The column with which plant steam comes in contact has a double tube sheet construction to avoid the mixing of pure steam with plant steam in case there is a weld joint failure in the tube sheet. All gaskets are made from pure Teflon or Pharmaceutical grade Silicon.

• The basic principle of operation is Distillation by Thin Film Evaporation.
• A Double Tube Sheet Heat Exchanger provides heating of pre-treated feed water to saturation conditions, generating pure steam which expands into the evaporation column.
• This consists of shell and tube heat exchangers where heat transfer is done by falling film evaporation which gives assurance for achieving high temperature for every drop of water, assures the sterility aspect and separation of pyrogenic load done by centrifugal action generated during the up-ward movement of steam.
• Pure steam pressure is maintained by an electronic control system, modulating the supply steam control valve and monitoring the evaporator feed water.
