PharmaTechnica 2023 Videos

Following you will find various videos on topics that will also be discussed at the PharmaCongress as well as videos from the exhibitors at the PharmaTechnica 2023. The exhibitors' video presentations from the past PharmaTechnica were watched by more than 800 attendees - so you may want to take a look at the PharmaTechnica 2022 videos as well.

The New Dimension in Derouging
Dr Elena Kolomiets & Dr Jolanta Kurz, Borer

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant but not corrosion proof. Stainless steel corrosion, so called rouge, is a common industry problem that occurs from the equipment exposure to highly aggressive environments such as purified-water or -steam systems, corrosive products or high-temperature stress. From a GMP point of view, rouge is not acceptable in direct-contact pharmaceutical systems, because it does not comply with the basic standard of "visually clean". What matters even more, starting from isolated spots, rouge can spread over the entire equipment and also contaminate the final product.
deconex® DEROUGE System 2.0 is an innovative, pH-neutral and environment-friendly solution for the removal of rouge. Its improved mode of action makes it possible to work in a cost-effective and ecological way.
