Filtration in Pharmaceutical Industries and Role of Textile

Filtration is considered the keystone for clarification and control of contamination in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. From production to in-process to chemical and research laboratories to the purification of water for sterile and nonsterile products, all of which involve some form of filtration in order to achieve a good manufacturing practice (GMP). Textile materials possess a significant contribution to the pharmaceutical filtration system. Textile material in pharmaceutical filtration is used in the form of filter media or medium. Flexible in nature, large pore distribution and non-metallic properties of textile materials have led to widespread use as filter media for many years. In filtration processes, a proper selection of filter media/ membrane material is usually the most critical aspect for ensuring efficient separation. Generally, solid-liquid and solid-gas separation is done by the filter media. This paper emphasises solid-liquid filtration. Moreover, this paper reviews the water requirement, filtration processes and the role of textile in the filtration system of pharmaceutical industries. This paper also offers insight into the current market trend and COVID-19 impact on the pharmaceutical filtration industry. Furthermore, gathered information may be helpful to those studying and working in pharmaceutical engineering, filtration technology, and wastewater treatment and can get knowledge about filtration systems

Camouflage Fabric - Fabric for Today’s Competitive Era

Innovation is the foremost requirement of today’s competitive era. Innovation refers to improving on an existing concept or idea using a stepwise process to create a commercially viable product. Food, clothing, and shelter are the basic needs of a human being. Clothing is made from textiles; with the help of textiles, the shelters are made more comfortable and attractive. Traditionally, fabrics are used for apparel and home furnishing purpose, but these days, application is diversifying in order to satisfy technical and protective functions. Camouflage fabrics are the ones most suitable for technical and protective purposes. Over the past few years, researchers have put emphasis on the development of camouflage fabrics for security measures for troops, and for activities intended to hide facts and mislead the enemy. Years of investigations have been invested into innovation in the manufacture of these fabrics which are providing the ultimate performance and reliability. In this review paper, an attempt is made to comprise principle, manufacturing techniques, properties and application. This paper also highlights the modern development and recent trends in the field of camouflage fabric. Camouflage and multispectral universal camouflage are the main areas of recent trends on camouflage fabrics. Camouflage fabrics are mostly used for hunting, survival prepper, tactical and military protective wear
