Study Notes

Wet Granulation Advantages

Fast and cost effective: Wet granulation is faster and more cost-effective compared to other methods.
Enhanced safety: The closed system used in the process reduces dust levels and the handling of hazardous materials, improving safety.
Increased product life and stability: Wet granulation results in products with a longer shelf life and enhanced stability.
Minimal waste and scalability: The process generates minimal waste and is easily scalable.

Wet Granulation Disadvantages

Novelty and cost: The method is comparatively new, making it more expensive.
Potential material degradation: The process of double compression might lead to material degradation.
High energy consumption: High energy consumption is required, adding to operational costs due to compressed air or gas requirements.
Dust generation: Dust generation necessitates extra containment and safety protocols.
