Predicting Diaphragm Valve Failure - Milena McFeeters

Ever wanted to have a Crystal Ball?   Did you know that the #1 suspect for a process line failure is diaphragm valves and gaskets?   On this episode of the Modern BioPharma Podcast (www.modernbiopharma.com) I am joined by Milena McFeeters from the BioProcess Institute to talk about the failure modes of Diaphragm Valves. Interesting right…?  Well, if most of the Pharma Process failures are due to things you could do a better job predicting, this just might be the episode for you :)  The Consumer Reports of the Pharma Industry, the BioProcess Institute has put together a comprehensive failure mode test and results that show the reliability of different manufacturers and the kinds of failures that are typical under different stresses and environments (CIP and SIP).   In this episode we discuss a number of things that are shown visually. You can both get a "cheat sheet" and the full report at https://bioprocessinstitute.com/.  you can also watch this episode on our Youtube Channel.
