Air Compressor Installation Qualification, Purpose
Air Compressor Installation Qualification, To verify and document that the oil free air compressor systems are designed, built and installed according to the XX Pharmaceuticals Ltd. demand and manufacturer specifications and documentation is compiled to verify the integrity of the installation.
This should result in acceptable documented evidence that the oil free air compressor system have been correctly installed in compliance with specification. This new IQ protocol will focus both the General and Cephalosporin Block.
Air Compressor Installation Qualification, Scope
This Installation Qualification (IQ) is to be performed against agreed acceptance criteria on the air compressor systems, comprising of compressor, drying system, filtering system, piping, control system etc. installed in the General Manufacturing area at the XX Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The scope will include assessment of equipment design and installation, connection to utilities, presence & function of instruments.

System Description
[][]The Atlas Copco Air Compressor and Air Dryer manufactured by Atlas Copco has a capacity of 10.4 m3/min. Air drawn through an air filter is compressed in low-pressure compressor element and discharged to the intercooler.
[][]The cooled air is further compressed in high-pressure compressor element and discharged through silencer and after coolers. A check valve is provided downstream of the silencer.
[][]The compressed air leaves the compressor via the air outlet. The compressor delivers oil-free, pulsation-free air.
[][]This is an air cooled type compressor which is facilitated with air filter, moisture trap, high pressure and low pressure safety valve, desiccant type dryer system etc.
[][]After being compressed in compressor the oil free compressed air will be stored in a receiver tank.
[][]Air will be dried in the desiccant type dryer and then distributed through pipe line to the different production facility.
Verification Of Installation
Drawings
[][]Physical installation of all the Compressed air related work has to be verified against reference drawings.
[][]The installations that will be found identical with the drawings will be marked by green color and those which will not match with the drawings will be marked by red/orange color.
