Hygienic & Environmental Engineering, as main contractor, designed, installed and commissioned one of the largest cooling water loops at a premier Biotech site in the UK.
The 800 metre, flow and return loop, consisted of a combination of 2.5,3,4,6,8 & 10 inch 316L Stainless Steel pipework taken over a light weight flat roof to avoid plant room congestion.
The system was commissioned to optimize & reduce WFI sub loop cooling times in order to support the ambitious site expansion plans.
Automation of process control valves to 3 pasteurisation tanks, including the installation of signal, feedback cabling and pneumatics pipework.
Modification to internal wiring and control systems
Internal height restrictions made lighting design and installation critical to the success of the new addition to the H.R.Owen brand.
The biotech production facility utilizes cooling water to support utilities, production and 8 freeze dryers from 4 cooling towers.
There are a couple of sub loops that support
The main users within the production area are WFI coolers which provide WFI at temperatures varying between +5°C and +35°C by cooling the circulating WFI from +85°C.
Cooled WFI is typically used to make buffer solutions and in final product formulation and availability at the right time and temperature is critical to reliable, on time processing.
The cooling water project is critical to the success of the new WFI systems that will be coming on stream mid 2009.
Hygienic & Environmental continue to build upon their standard control system packages for distribution skids which also includes an optional SCADA system, a valuable tool for managing water quality and guiding preventative maintainenace schedules.
Vessel Cooling jacket upgrades and blanketing modifications add to process flexibility.
Utilities upgrades continued over the christmas period with key utilities being supported by Hygienic & Environmnetal engineering.
Hygienic are busy upgrading the steam, water and compressed air systems covering both mechanical and electrical / control applications.
