“Water System Bio-film Control and Microbial Monitoring Myths” from GlobalCompliancePanel

An unfortunate, yet undeniable fact of water systems is that many of them are designed keeping obsolete concepts in mind. The result of an organization’s reluctance to update its water systems is that the systems are built on a shaky foundation.
 
Jan. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Description:

An unfortunate, yet undeniable fact of water systems is that many of them are designed keeping obsolete concepts in mind. The result of an organization’s reluctance to update its water systems is that the systems are built on a shaky foundation, making them weak at their core.

This webinar will discussion some detail the reasons for which such fallacies happen, but greater attention will be paid to how these systems can be corrected. For this to happen, a few established myths have to be shattered. This session seeks to quell popular myths surrounding water systems, for most important reason for which water systems go awry. Most of these myths relate to microbial control approaches and microbial monitoring.

The speaker brings his over three decades of experience in water systems in taking up each myth for demystification. This session will cover the following areas:

o   Why water myths develop:

       Impact of c-GMPs

       Well-meaning but misguided precedents

       Scientifically unchallenged traditions and benchmarking

       Rule-hungry culture

o   Water System Microbial Control Myths:

       WFI from RO

       Turbulent Flow and Flow Rate

       Dead Leg Rules

       Smooth Surfaces

       In-Line Sterilizing Filters

       Ozone

o   Microbial Enumeration Myths:

       Referee Methods

       Thermophiles in Hot Systems

       R2A, 35°C, 5 days

       Test Filter Membrane Rating

       Compendial Action Levels

       TOC and Endotoxin as Microbial Count Correlates
