Pharmaceuticals  [ Return towards  Our offer  ]

Air Liquide manufactures, stores and distributes gases ensuring the highest quality and full traceability. Our gases allows for e.g. analysis and control of pharmaceutical products, analyser calibration, synthesis of active additives and modified atmosphere packing.

Our PHARGALIS™ offer has been designed in compliance with European Pharmacopeia:

• products according to the specification,
• suitable analysis methods,

and in the spirit of Good Manufacturing Practices:

• lot numbering,
• lot analysis ensuring traceability.

We offer:

• calibration mixtures,
• inert gases: nitrogen, argon, helium,
• active gases: hydrogen, oxygen, ozone, carbon dioxide,
• gases in liquid form: liquid nitrogen, liquid carbon dioxide,
• compressed air.

As a partner of pharmaceutical industry, we developed solutions integrated with your production process :

• thermoregulation: cooling of chemical reactors, monitoring of chemical reaction rate, reducing by-product formation and improve stereo-specificity,
• lyophilisation: preserving substances in water solutions, stabilization of substances and safety storage,
• cryo-grinding: wide range of substances to grind, requested granulometry of preserved chemical characteristic,
• inerting: protecting your products against humidity and oxidization as well as your production lines, silos, reactors, spin-dryers against explosive atmospheres,
• extraction: obtaining pure organic extracts without any trace of solvent using supercritical CO₂,
• controlled atmosphere areas: storage and packing of sensitive products,
• transfer of products: quick decantation of liquids or powders with no risk of pollution,
• fermentation: maintaining in aerobic fermentation the dissolved oxygen value in narrow limits, elimination of CO₂ produced by most micro-organisms.

Pharmaceutical industry constantly looks for ways of improving quality, safety and costs. Air Liquide' solutions help you to increase efficiency, improve product quality and reduce production hazards.

For gas compressed delivery in cylinders :

• dedicated filling line,
• cylinders dedicated exclusively for pharmaceutical industry,
• protection against impurities (humidity control, RPV valves, current cylinder inspection),
• gas described with its shelf life,
• cylinder labelling.

For liquid gas deliveries :

• qualification of the storage before the first filling,
• dedicated storage station,
• unloading system,
• dedicated means of transport.

• appropriate gas quality at the point of use: inspection of gas installation, support of our experts, analyser calibration, gas analysis,
• optimization of gas consumption: remote monitoring of storage tanks and installations, gas consumption control, cylinder management, installation service, leak test, pressure test,
• safety work: training adapted to the customer requirements, optimization of safety procedures, inspection of gas distribution network.
