Requirements For Aspirin Pilot Plant Production

System requirements :

  • Aspirin Pilot Plant shall be able to produce the aspirin. 
  • The control panel shall be able to control all the pumps, valves, mixers and read the data of the sensors (Temperature-pressure).

Physical requirements :

  • The pipes shall be able to withstand the temperatures and pressures that exist at the points.

- Temperature that shall be withstood: 80 degrees celsius.

- Pressure that shall be withstood: 2 bar.

  • The tanks shall be able to withstand the Temperatures exchanges, pressures and mechanical forces that exist at the points.

- Temperature that shall be withstood: 80+ degrees celsius.

- Pressure that shall be withstood: 2 bar.

-mechanical force: mixer movements and rotation.

Chemical requirements :

- The Tanks system shall be able to insulate the chemical reagents. 

- The Tanks system shall be able to withstand the corrosion with H2SO4 and acetic acid.

- The pipe system used shall be able to withstand the corrosion with H2SO4 and acetic acid.

- The valves shall be able to withstand the corrosion with H2SO4 and acetic acid.

Mechanical requirements :

- The Tank system shall be made of Stainless Steel 316.

- The Tank system shall be able to close the system completely.

- The pipes shall be made of stainless steel 316.

- The pipes shall be able to resist the pressure without let gas exit through. 

- The valves shall be made of stainless steel 316.

- The valves shall be able to close completely.

- The valves shall be able to open or close with independent pressure.

- The aspirin pilot plant shall be designed acccording to the mechanical design.

Safety requirements :

The system shall be enclosed completely to ensure no toxic gas and to avoid contact with the burns from concentrated acid (H2SO4).

- The system shall be enclosed during the sterilization step to avoid the burns form hot vapor used to sterilization.
