Solutions for the Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry is at the forefront of medical progress, and plays a major role in helping society fight newer health risks and diseases.

However, manufacture of pharmaceuticals is a complex and highly regulated process (cGMP) involving bulk drug, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and formulation plants. It is characterised by frequent changes in the product mix resulting in fluctuating process requirements and frequent changes in the production facility. Additionally, the Industry faces many challenges like quality control, cost control, regulatory compliance, scalability, innovation and sustainability.

Given these dynamic changes, the utility is often a bottleneck impacting the process.

Steam is indispensable to a wide range of plant and high-purity applications within pharmaceutical manufacturing

Heating (reactors, solvent recovery, WFI, PSG)
Cooling (VAM)
Sterilisation (autoclaves)
Drying (FBDs, RCVDs)
Conditioning of air (DHUs)

We have achieved savings of over 22% in fuel with improvement in condensate recovery factor by 20% We have installed utility automation and instantaneous hot water systems designed and supplied by Forbes Marshall. Process heat from the Forbes Marshall solar cogeneration system has helped to reduce carbon foot print by delivering cleaner and greener energy.

Single fluid system supplied by Forbes Marshall has help us to gain precise control of complete heating -cooling cycle in reactors. We were also able to recover 100% of the recoverable condensate.

Forbes Marshall rectified the existing steam system without interrupting production. We were able to achieve 100% condensate recovery factor and save 26 million litres of water annually with a reduction of 15% in fuel consumption.

Forbes Marshall helped us solve our problem of coil leakages. Their steam solutions have helped us sustain a condensate recovery factor of 80% .

We are recovering 100% of the recoverable condensate with Forbes Marshall's condensate recovery systems. This has resulted in an improved Steam:Fuel ratio of the boiler and an achievement of 15% in fuel savings.
