PDA Europe Webinar - Future of Refrigeration: Basics of Refrigeration for Pharma Applications

Online
Ask a Question Exhibitor Standard Contract Clause

Dear Colleagues,

In most steps of pharma production, from starting materials, to process, product, supply chain, and waste management, the need for refrigeration arises.

Due to the fact that energy can only go from warm to cold, refrigeration is no classic utility, therefore, complex processes including equipment, machinery and refrigerants that generate the cold become necessary.

The equipment must be installed and maintained, and most of the refrigerants used today have an impact on the environment. They are therefore subject to stringent regulation and/or safety measures.

This webinar is focused on giving a basic understanding of how refrigeration works and what an operator should know to select the optimal refrigeration solution for their product needs. The goal is to gain a thorough understanding and solid overview of different technologies, including advantages and disadvantages such as being future proof, efficient, reliable, safe, while possessing optimal process control, maintenance parameters, longevity and more.

By completing this webinar, you will also be prepared to know what is needed to meet the current European guidelines and regulations beyond the year 2030.

We look forward to welcoming you!
