Project reference
KeyPlants has among other assignments provided Senior DeltaV SME’s for the client team to support the upgrade of a facility PCS. Our resources had roles as area leads and helped to drive the design and manage the delivery from the automation integrator. Moreover, KeyPlants has supported on-site C&Q of a new biologics facility, taking lead roles on the client team to drive the C&Q execution and support the DeltaV system on a technical level. In another assignment, we have provided expertise in Siemens PCS7 to develop new software in the DCS, where we helped to improve the effectiveness of the cooling systems in production.
Site Master Planning
KeyPlants developed the site master planning (SMP) for a new greenfield production site for peptide manufacturing. The project aims to meet the increasing demand for manufacturing capacity in a short- and long-term perspective. The SMP establishes how the site can support scalable production to meet the forecasted demand increase over a ten-year period. The plan features a phased expansion to ensure flexibility and optimized CAPEX. The facility will provide expandable production capacity with modular upstream and downstream production, warehousing, and central services. The developed plan is combining conventional and modular construction i.e., a hybrid solution. This hybrid design allows for efficient phased implementation while maintaining regulatory compliance.
