Overview: This course is designed to provide a microbiology-focused education about all aspects of water systems and how biofilm manages to thrive there. Prior microbiological education or training, though a plus, is not a requirement because engineers and other nonbiologists also need this training if they are involved with any aspect of water systems. The instructor will provide the necessary background needed to understand this very important subject matter. This understanding is essential to the proper design, validation, operation, monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting, and excursion investigations of a high purity water system. Without this understanding, water system control consists of a set of rules that often don’t work and can cause very costly system downtime or even product recalls, and leaves the user without a clue as to what went wrong or how to effectively fix it so it doesn't recur.
Areas Covered in the Session: Day 1, April 19, 2012 Lecture 1: What Makes Water Systems Have Microbial Quality Problems l
Understand biofilm basics and how it develops
l
Understand the impact of biofilm on the commonly used purification unit operations
l
Understand how various commonly used microbial control
l
strategies work (or don’t work) to control biofilm development Understand the how, where, and why of microbial monitoring,
l
action levels, etc. Debunk a few water system myths
l
Get answers to your own water system questions

Instructor Profile: Teri C. Soli Principal Consultant, Soli Pharma Solutions T.C. Soli, is a Ph.D. Microbiologist and President of Soli Pharma Solutions, Inc. (www.solipharmasol.com), and since becoming a full time consultant, has served consumer products and FDAregulated industries with training and troubleshooting expertise covering water systems, sterilization, aseptic processing, microbiological and betalactam contamination control, microbiological laboratory operations, and has served as a pharmaceutical expert witness in several "contamination" litigations. Prior to full time consulting, he had 25 years of diverse "Big Pharma" operating company experience. During his 31+ year career he has lectured extensively at conferences, authored numerous papers and recently written several book chapters related to water system microbiology for USP, PDA and ISPE publications. He is currently serving in his third five-year term on USP Expert Committees responsible for Pharmaceutical Waters through which he authored the complete rewrite of USP Chapter <1231> which many consider to be USP's "pharmaceutical water bible". ...more
