Often the question is asked: "How much water (WFI) does your washer use per hour?" A simple question with insufficient information to be answered. The correct question is: "What is theminimum amount of WFI at 80° C at a pressure of 5 bar for a 10ml vial on a RW -800 with a WFI-recirculating package and intermittent spraying?" Obviously, the question knows many variations.
The customer's objective is to validate the washing process with the least amount of WFI. We can help the customer to understand the factors involved in the validation process.
Factors are:
- Vial size (a larger vial requires more water than a smaller one).
- Water pressure (the higher the pressure the higher the water flow)
- Washing time (the longer the washing time the higher the water consumption)
