This sector covers a wide range of technologies from dry solid formulations and packaging through to creams, solutions and specific sterile delivery forms in a variety of packaging.
No matter what project type or product delivery system is required, Aker Kvaerner's pharmaceutical engineers have the experience and ability to deliver cost effective, compliant designs with project implementation capability throughout the world.
Today’s challenge is to respond to the Industry’s demand for high quality standards whilst shortening the time to market for new product lines. Pressure on the manufacturing function has never been greater. Any facility must provide robust processes capable of delivering uninterrupted product flows for years to come, yet flexible enough to accommodate as-yet undiscovered new products. To achieve this it is essential to understand intimately both the manufacturing and engineering constraints in facility design.
Our team of industry experts can analyse your business requirements, challenge current technology and operating principles and optimise process design whilst considering the “future-proofing” of the design through building-in operational flexibility. By considering how the plant will operate, the ongoing maintenance and validation requirements, and the people and process flows within the building, we will work together to provide an environment where the design leads you to operate in an efficient, cGMP-compliant manner.
This means tackling the “hard” issues right at the start of the design process, drawing on the skills and experience of our dedicated pharmaceutical design team.
The provision of safe and effective facilities for the production and formulation of secondary products can present severe challenges for designers and construction teams.
Aker Kvaerner has extensive experience in pharmaceutical technology and has designed, constructed and validated plants with the following facilities:
- Sterile liquid manufacture
- Solid dose form production
- Non-sterile liquids, creams and ointments
- Blow/fill/seal technology
- Primary and secondary packaging
- Automated dispensing systems
- Protection of product, personnel and environment by containment and isolation techniques
- Effective material transfer between unit operations
- Computer integrated manufacture (CIM)
