The pharmaceutical industry is one of the world’s most advanced fields. Companies in this sector rely on a wide range of technology, equipment and software to produce various drugs and distribute them to the public. Power is necessary to ensure continued production, connect people with the medicines they need and provide the precision climate controls required to maintain drug integrity. There are multiple reasons to consider using backup generators in your pharmaceutical applications.
Production
Power disruptions can interfere with the delicate processes involved in producing complex pharmaceuticals. An outage can cause errors in synthesis and processing that can ruin an entire production run, leading to significant losses in time, labor and materials spent manufacturing replacements.
Refrigeration
A power outage can also knock out the equipment used in temperature control. Many drugs, like vaccines and insulin, require cold storage to retain their usefulness and potency. If they’re exposed to temperatures warm enough, it can render a whole batch loss.
Ventilation
Providing adequate ventilation is essential in pharmaceutical production to maintain cleanroom sterility and ensure adequate airflow through non-manufacturing areas. Without it, the temperature, humidity or contaminant levels can exceed tolerance levels, damaging batch quality and distribution.
Administration
Whether you’re in production or distribution, you need to keep several background processes running if there’s an outage for any duration. This includes keeping your computers, servers and lab equipment on, ensuring continued business services like elevators and automatic doors can function and keeping fire and security alarm systems online.
