CHEMISTRY, PHARMACEUTICAL, COSMETIC
A sector supported by excellence.
The handling of pulverulent products generates the generation of fine dust, sometimes very volatile: active ingredients, fine particles … of harmful solvents and vapors.
The powders are sometimes classified CMR by INERIS and have low exposure rates, called OEB3 (10-100 µg / m³), OEB4 (1-10 µg / m³) or EPO 5 (& lt; 1 µg / m³) . The installation of Collective Protection Equipment (EPC) avoids the contact of operators with these particles.
Pollutants, gaseous or solid are also potentially explosive. To protect the production environment, ventilation systems limit the risk of explosion, and limit its effects if necessary.
A quantitative limit of dust in suspension in the workshop is often defined to control the exposure of operators: ELV – Exposure limit value / VME: average exposure value. WATTOHM undertakes to reduce these values below charges in order to protect the respiratory tract of all operators in the area concerned.
Regulatory release rates also exist to protect the environment. Our solutions respect these values and continuous control systems make it possible to secure releases throughout the year.
Mastering concepts for the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
In the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, Wattohm specialises in the capture, extraction and filtration of volatile products on packaging lines and at preparation and handling stations. Wattohm also offers ventilation systems to limit the risk of explosion.
Wattohm studies, designs and installs tailored solutions:
- Bag emptying hoppers, big bag loading/unloading
- Laminar flow cabinets
- Reactor and mixer feeding
- Mobile suction units
- STD, ATEX, explosion-proof, inerting and stainless steel dust extraction systems
- Filling or emptying of IBCs, drums, reactors
- Dryers, granulators
- Conveyors, material transport
- Packaging and weighing stations
- Sampling
- Loading of tanker trucks through manholes
Historical expertise in the chemical industry.
We design extraction and filtration systems in accordance with INRS recommendations, in compliance with client specifications and UIC standards.
Our team dedicated to the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sector is N1/N2 trained and familiar with the sector’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and can respond to specific requests from the sector worldwide.
Wattohm is supported by N1/N2 and MASE trained partners who are familiar with the most stringent constraints and know how to respond to specific risks.
We offer project-based solutions with various milestones linked to the facility acceptance process: FAT, SAT, Facility Qualifications and Operational Qualifications (QIQO) to meet industry requirements.
