Solvent Recovery Systems For Sustainable Pharma Manufacturing
Speakers: Ryan Woods, Ph.D., Director, Development Engineering, Small Molecule, North America
Pharmaceutical manufacturing uses more solvent per kilogram of product than any other industry, and recovery strategies introduced late in development carry real risk.
Ryan Woods, Director of Development Engineering at SK PharmTeco Small Molecule North America, draws on about 12 years with the company to compare three approaches: reworking an existing process layout with no capital expense, building purpose-designed equipment for continuous chromatography, and developing new separation technology for acetonitrile recovery from an oligonucleotide waste stream.
The discussion also covers regulatory expectations, nitrosamine control in recycled streams, and the scale-down gap between bench demonstrations and commercial campaigns. John Jacobson, Head of R&D at SK PharmTeco Small Molecule North America, hosts and moderates a Q&A.
Watch to hear what each approach delivered and where the barriers sit.
