Powder handling in Cleanroom

[jokke]

Dear colleagues,


I need some help about handling antibiotics in a C cleanroom.

We have to add manually some antibiotics from a bag (in bucket) into a vessel.

Can somebody help me with information about design of the local fumehoods wich I have to place on top of the handling points.
Information about capacity, regulations, filtersystem, duct system, control and suppliers of such a unit?

Thanx in advance

You are asking for a lot of information. Did you google for extraction system in pharma industry? You might have a lot of hits.
Either way, in the cleanroom itself, I believe that you should only have a fixed (or flexible) extraction point and all extraction system is out of it in a technical area.
If the vessel is always in the same place, you might want a fixed local extraction, if it moves, you might an extraction with a flexible hose.
You should remember also that once you switch on the extraction the balancing of your room will change and your differential pressure strategy might be put in jeopardy.
Make sure that your HVAC system can cope with the ammount of air that you are going to extract from the room.
