How can OSD facilities safely dispense HIGH POTENT products?

 Can containers and IBCs of very different sizes be used for the dispensed product?

Process:

Load drums, weight & dispense Highly Potent API into various containers or IBCs

What are the issues?

  • Highly Potent APIs (CPT < 300 ng/m3)
  • Large variety of incoming drum sizes (5-20 kg)
  • Receiving containers range from bottles, to bags to IBCs
  • Installation room is small: 6.5 m x 3.5 m (21’ x 11.5’)
