Regulatory Requirements for Continuous Emissions Monitoring

The webinar covered the following: An update on China regulations, including food contact materials, biocides, and the trend of increased enforcement; A summary of Taiwan Chemical Substances Control Act (TCSCA) and Korea REACH (K-REACH), along with recent amendments affecting the chemical and other industries (e.g., food ingredients industry); A definition of key terms and implications, such as “substances of concern” in Taiwan CSCA; Any other country-specific regulatory nuances, such as confidential business information (CBI); and, Important regulatory deadlines.

The production of quality bourbon involves an understanding of the chemistry involved in the process. Most modern distilleries rely on both sensory and chemical analysis as part of their process. This talk will highlight some of the chemistry involved in the production of the distilled spirit, its aging, and your enjoyment of it. For those not familiar with bourbon, a basic overview of the spirit will be weaved into the talk.

This webinar will cover the important basic aspects of safe handling and use of compressed gas cylinders. The program will focus on key elements regarding cylinder receiving, transport, storage, and safe handling in the facility and/or laboratory. Federal regulations will be covered, including regulations from DOT, OSHA, and others (NFPA). Cylinder ID requirements, determining hydrostatic test dates and proper shipping on public roads will be addressed.

Within chemical process development, program timing often dictates making informed decisions with limited process understanding, especially in the early clinical delivery space. To facilitate this, the Merck Process Development Intensification Laboratory is tasked with developing tools and methodologies aimed towards acquisition of deeper, more fundamental process understanding in a resource sparing manner. These chemical process development techniques are centrally focused around data intensification, or more specifically, more efficient data capture, data reduction and data analysis enabled.
