Multipurpose pilot plant
Solution
3V Technologies:
Short path evaporation.
3V Competences:
Ability to configure complete concentration systems for highly thermosensitive products.
Design:
Definition of operating conditions for main equipment and ancillaries for a flexible multipurpose unit in strict adherence to customer’s process requirement and space constraints.
Build:
Build all process equipment and assemble a skid ready for final installation at customer’s site.
Operate:
Commissioning & start-up of the units.
Team
3V project team:
3V Tech Project Manager, Project Engineering Manager, Document Controller, I&C Engineer, Automation Engineer, Drafter.
Site of realisation:
USA.
Audience
Client industry:
Pharmaceutical.
Context
Project context:
Allow internal testing activities with a multipurpose unit for pharmaceutical intermediates purification.
Project goal & client needs:
Supply of a turn-key solution around a short path evaporator including automation system with complete shop pre-assembly.
Results
Project execution timing:
Currently in execution.
Project complexity:
The main complexity of the project is related to the size of the system: a small-scale pilot plant with a sophisticated vacuum system (primary + secondary circuit to reach 10 – 2 mbarg).
Other information
Pharmaceutical intermediates have critical properties that make short path evaporation under vacuum an ideal solution for the concentration of products with a high degradation tendency.
