MuPT™ Launch: A Milestone in Multi-Utility Process Innovation
On 12 September 2025, Forbes Marshall unveiled its latest breakthrough product, Multi-Utility Process Trap (MuPT™), at its R&D Innovation Center. The launch marked an important step in addressing the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors through customer-centric innovation.
The event brought together over 35 participants, including representatives from leading pharmaceutical and chemical companies. This diverse gathering reflected the spirit of MuPT™ itself – solving real challenges through collaboration and innovation.
Setting the Context
The knowledge sessions began with an emphasis on the critical role of research and development in driving growth and competitiveness. Drawing from global industry insights, the speakers highlighted how sustained investment in innovation directly translates into measurable outcomes for customers.
The discussion then turned to the growing complexity of managing multiple utilities – such as steam, condensate, and cooling water, simultaneously. Rising fuel costs, stricter sustainability demands, and the push for energy conservation make this challenge even more pressing. Against this backdrop, MuPT™ was introduced as a holistic solution designed to optimize efficiency, improve reliability, and lower costs.
The Story Behind MuPT™
The idea for MuPT™ was born out of recurring challenges observed in processes such as Multiple Utility Reactors in Chemical and API Industries. While targeted interventions had already reduced steam consumption by up to 30%, persistent issues like contaminated condensate, temperature variations, and steam losses through bypass valves continued to impact efficiency and costs.
MuPT™ was designed to address these challenges head-on. By integrating multiple utilities into a single, efficient system, it represents a step change in how pharmaceutical and chemical industries can manage their processes reliably, sustainably, and at scale.
The Launch Moment
To symbolise its alignment with sustainability, the launch was marked by a green initiative, followed by the unveiling of MuPT™ and a video showcasing its features, benefits, and applications.
Field experiences shared during the event demonstrated how MuPT™ is already making an impact. Key benefits observed at early installations included:
- 5% reduction in steam consumption
- 50% reduction in start-up time
- Consistent process temperature
- > 80% condensate recovery
With its digital connectivity, MuPT™ also enables real-time visibility into plant operations, empowering teams to monitor and optimize performance seamlessly.
Customer Voice and Engagement
One of the highlights of the launch was hearing directly from industry leaders how MuPT™ have helped address long-standing operational challenges reinforcing its role as a practical, customer-driven solution.
The interactive Q&A session further emphasized MuPT’s relevance, with participants engaging in discussions on integration, operation, and long-term benefits.
A Live Demonstration
The technical centerpiece of the day was a live demonstration on a full-scale test rig. Attendees were able to see MuPT™ in action and experience firsthand how its features translate into measurable outcomes.
The demonstration built trust and confidence, with many participants expressing interest in conducting on-site studies at their own facilities.
Looking Ahead
The launch of MuPT™ represents more than a new product. It is a strategic leap forward for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. By tackling the critical challenges of multi-utility processes, MuPT™ offers:
- Ideal steam trapping solution for multi utility reactors
- Operational reliability by delivering higher uptime
- Reduction in steam consumption and start-up time
- Sustainability through higher condensate recovery and reduced wastage
- Digital visibility for real-time monitoring of critical parameter
As the technology continues to be adopted, it is set to create a measurable impact on energy costs, operational resilience, and environmental sustainability.
The MuPT™ launch was not just an introduction of a new solution, but a celebration of innovation and collaboration – values that continue to shape the future of pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
