Pharmaceutical Engineering: A Primer for Advanced Process Development. Volume One: Liquid Dosage form Process Design provides a comprehensive, engineering-focused description of pharmaceutical dosage form process development and manufacturing. The set is split into two volumes where Volume One focuses on liquids and Volume Two on solids. Each volume introduces the most commonly used manufacturing processes for pharmaceutical dosage forms and addresses critical formulation and process parameters that influence drug product process performance and product quality.This is supplemented with detailed descriptions of engineering models as well as tools that can be used to support their development and verification (such as process analytical technology (PAT)) as well as the appropriate utilization of process and equipment knowledge. Typical scale-up challenges inspired by real industrial examples will be presented as well as a review of the latest correlations, theories and models that can form the basis for science-based scale-ups and transfers.

High Integrity Systems and Safety Management in Hazardous Industries serves as an overview of best practices as applied to high integrity systems, including their design, maintenance, and regulation, and detailed guidance to safety management processes as applied to hazardous industries. Large hazardous plants are complex multidisciplinary systems that require a cross-disciplinary viewpoint for all safety-related personnel. This cross-disciplinary perspective can create a gap in understanding which this book aims to address. Furthermore, industries tend to exist in silos, where experiences in one industry may not be understood or communicated to others.Across three parts, this book introduces current key themes for all engineering managers of high-hazard plants, including aging plant, cyber security, crisis management, corporate social responsibility, and the significance of local culture to operational safety. This book uses real-world examples and a multidisciplinary approach to safety case management to bridge the disciplinary gap and help our reader understand the latest advice and technology underpinning high integrity systems and safety management.This book will be an invaluable guide for industry professionals, researchers, and students at graduate level or above working or researching in hazardous industries. This book will also be of interest to anyone working with high integrity systems in their research. The second edition has been revised to include some up-to-date case studies. It also includes discussion of recent technological advances and their potential impact in hazardous industries.
