Market Spotlight:Pharmaceuticals
Intense competition. Off-brand pirating.Offshore manufacturers pushing substandardproduct. Ingredient shortages. Tighterregulations. The stakes have never beenhigher in the pharmaceuticals market.Meeting these challenges puts added strainon manufacturers to work with tighterbudgets and shorter market deadlines.
How does a manufacturerstay ahead of the game andstill maintain a quality productreputation?
Eaton has answers.
We offer a selection of filtrationproducts that deliver consistent,reliable API containment andrecovery, while creatingopportunities for cost reductionas well.

Maintaining Process QC and Ingredient Control
Active pharmaceuticalingredients (API) are defined bythe US Food and DrugAdministration as substancesused singly or in a mixture toproduce a medicinal product.When used in drug production,these substances become theAPI for that product.
Catalysts, bonded to activatedcarbon as a base material, areused to expedite a reactionprocess, such as hydrogenation.The increased use of metalcatalysts such as palladium,rhodium, and rutheniumrequires containment andrecovery to meet catalyst
residue limits set by the UnitedStates Pharmacopoeia (USP)and the EuropeanPharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). On asecondary but equallyimportant level catalysts areexpensive, making theirrecovery and reuse a budgetconsideration as well.
Activated carbon is alsoemployed in API manufacturingto remove color, contaminants,and impurities from product viachemical adsorption. If thecarbon is used in free-powderform, the residue has to be
removed. Both methodsrequire filter solutions able tohandle high volumes of solids.
Engineering the Better Idea
Many filtration options for
catalyst and activated carbonremoval are adequate. Theymay, however, not be optimalfor your application. Among thechallenges are designs thatfeature economy but increasethe risk of filtration bypass.Some are complicated andincrease staff workload tomaintain. The choice of filtermedia can also be a concern.
Eaton resolves these issueswith a family of solutions underthe BECO trademark.
BECO depth filter sheets are
specially manufactured toensure high particulate holdingcapacity and safe, consistentretention. Very pure, finelyfibrillated cellulose fibers incombination with filtration-active mineral components,such as diatomaceous earth,form the matrix of the filtermedia. BECO depth filtersheets are typically used inenclosed and classic plate andframe filters.
The new, pure BECOPAD andthe high-purity, pharma-gradeBECOPAD P are the first andonly mineral-free depth filtermedia produced to date withspecial, high-purity cellulose. Inthe BECOPAD range, high-purity celluloses form aunique, superfine filtrationstructure that does not requireinorganic ingredients, lesseningthe burden of materialrecovery.
BECO filter sheets andBECOPAD depth filters are alsoused to produce BECODISCstacked disc cartridges wherethey contribute to superior
mechanical and chemicalstability. BECODISC stackeddisc cartridges enable simpleinsertion and removal in BECOINTEGRA DISC stacked disccartridge housings.
