Speakers for the Session are: Venkata Prasad K., Unit Head, Deepak Nitrite; Abhilash Pasham, Associate General Manager - Central Engineering & Projects, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories; C. V. Rajulu, Consultant, Industry; and Jyoti Shankar Jha, Senior Lead Scientist, Alleima India. The moderator for the Session is Pravin Prashant, Executive Editor, Indian Pharma Post.
The main objective of the conference is to discuss the cost of corrosion and focusing on a framework for the right material selection to solve corrosion problems in Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries especially heat exchanger tubes. Many chemicals are extremely corrosive for industrial equipment such as heat exchangers. The corrosion failures of heat exchanger tubes can cause downtime, contamination of products, and in the worst case - safety hazards. The ability to overcome such manufacturing challenges will be critical to business success therefore, right material selection for new equipment is critical. All this will lead to reducing failures and maintenance costs and help in boosting productivity.
Key points to be covered during the session are: Challenges in Heat Exchanger Tubes; Corrosion Monitoring, Inspection, and Maintenance of Heat Exchangers; Protective Measures and Coatings; Cost of Corrosion/Lifecycle Costs; Choosing Corrosion-resistant Materials and Design Considerations; Water and Process Fluid Management; Industry Expectation with respect to Heat Exchanger Tubes; and showcasing Model of Cost Saving.
Corrosion poses a significant challenge, threatening equipment integrity, product purity, and regulatory compliance. Traditional approaches to corrosion mitigation often involve the use of materials like stainless steel, nickel alloys, and fluoropolymers, each with varying degrees of resistance to specific corrosive agents. However, an increasing focus on environmental sustainability necessitates the exploration of greener and more sustainable solutions.
The Indian Pharmaceutical market is valued at approximately US $55 billion of which India's export market is currently at $30.46 billion and this is expected to grow 2.2 to 2.4 times by 2030, reaching US $120 - $130 billion in value and increasing India's share from 3-3.5% currently to nearly 5% by 2030. To achieve the 2030 target, the Indian Pharmaceutical industry must focus on QuRATE which encompasses five overarching pillars - Quality, Regulation, Access to global markets, Talent, and Entrepreneurial innovation - India can stand out and capture these opportunities.
