Advanced processes
We offer a rare capability to mix bio, chemo and physical transformations in ways that solve the process and manufacturing problems of a broad range of clients.
CPI’s advanced processing team helps clients in the process and manufacturing sectors to develop new ways to make new things.
Our approach is designed to manage risk across the lifecycle of product development, pilot and trial, and is based on many man-years of collective experience in a broad range of disciplines. Brought together within our Advanced Processes Integrated Demonstrator (APID) our capabilities can draw on bio, chemo and physical processing techniques to:
- Develop and demonstrate putative processes
- Produce trial quantities of products
- Demonstrate whole processes
- Assess commercial and economic cases
- Deliver training and consultancy
- Facilitate technology transfer.
Our substantial investments in innovative process technologies has created a suite of ‘plug and play’ facilities offering both standard and novel solutions in chemical and physical processing, as well as use of the National Industrial Biotechnology Facility (NIBF). Used independently or integrated in unique configurations, these facilities have a track record of delivery of successful process solutions.
The NBIF itself offers a unique gene to kilo service for industrial biotechnologists. Its capabilities deliver a full range of biotechnology manufacturing and marine biotechnology facilities, with mirrored development and pilot scale equipment enabling reliable scale up trials.
CPI constantly innovates in process design, solving specific client problems as well as creating a portfolio of processes, techniques and services that we can offer to both public and private organisations. These include the following:
- Structured reactor
- Micro Reactor technology
- Spinning disk reactor
- Continuous oscillatory baffled flow demonstrator
- Pilot plant design and build
- Process consultation and optimisation
- Full process package/front end engineering design.
