Continuous Manufacturing in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Design, Control, and Implementation for Solid Dosage Form Production

This book, featuring chapters by firsthand experts and practitioners, covers topics related to the continuous production of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. As the pharmaceutical industry transitions to continuous manufacturing, such a reference describing the sciences and engineering behind these techniques meets a critical need. Starting with a primer on basic theories, the book moves to discuss unit operations required and available technologies for the continuous production of solid dosage forms. This section also provides a case study of the design of a complete continuous manufacturing process.  In the last section, the book details process modeling and control theory, as well as how to design and implement process controls on a continuous line.
