Abstract: A system and method for the simulation and modeling of biopharmaceutical batch process manufacturing facilities using process time lines is described herein. The system employs an eleven-field delimited string code which specifies the unit identifier code and the iteration value for each of the ten levels of nested scheduling cycles of the biopharmaceutical drug production process being modeled. The method includes generating a process time line using operational parameters, a block flow diagram, and a set of scheduling cycles for each of a sequence of unit operations. The process time line is used as a tool for batch processing and facility design.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of photochemically oxidizing gaseous halogenated organic compounds, an apparatus for photochemically oxidizing gaseous halogenated organic compounds, a lining insert for an apparatus for photochemically oxidizing gaseous halogenated organic compounds, and a method for producing such a lining. The principal method comprises: a) exposing gaseous halogenated organic compounds to ultraviolet light to oxidize the gaseous halogenated organic compounds into gaseous oxidation products; and b) reacting the gaseous oxidation products with an internal surface of a reaction chamber, the internal surface comprising a dry porous cementitious and chemically sorbent material which is chemically reactive with the gaseous oxidation products, with the gaseous oxidation products being reacted with the dry porous cementitious material to produce solid reaction products incorporated in sidewalls of the chamber.
