Filtration Technologies Tailored for the Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, filtration plays an indispensable role in the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished pharmaceutical products. Impurities and contaminants can lead to product failure and increase production time. Worse still, even a small amount of contamination can have detrimental consequences on a patient’s health.

To remove any pollutants, pharmaceutical companies rely on a variety of filters and other filtration equipment and systems to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Various filtration techniques are employed to meet different requirements at different levels of production. Some of these filtration technologies include: 

  • Membrane filtration: Also known as surface filtration, this type of pharmaceutical manufacturing filtration removes larger particles or contaminants from a fluid or gas stream by using a thin, semi-permeable membrane. 
  • Depth filtration: Removes finer particles, soluble substances, and colloidal substances from a liquid by using a porous filtration medium like depth filter pads and cartridges. 
  • Sterile filtration: Removes microorganisms from liquids and gases by using membranes with pore sizes ranging from 0.1 to 0.45 µm.
  • Ultrafiltration: Separates, concentrates, and purifies macromolecules, such as proteins and lipids, and removes bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other dangerous pathogens from liquids, using membranes with pore sizes around 0.001 to 0.1 µm.
