Xepa is the leading manufacturer of off-patent pharmaceuticals in Malaysia. To cater for increased product demand, Xepa constructed a new multi-purpose pharmaceutical manufacturing facility and associated infrastructure.Â
The Challenge
The project required process engineering and utility design expertise with a focus on lowering operating cost and footprint, while achieving certification for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).Â
Synertec's Solution
Synertec was initially contracted to undertake a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study, which then progressed to detailed design and validation work incorporating:Â
Equipment selection including purified water system
Process flows
Personnel flows
Manufacturing facility layoutsÂ
Wall and floor finishes and details
Environmental control, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, chilled water, and extraction systems
Electrical design
Automation systemsÂ
Â
Synertec introduced innovative solutions for manufacturing processes and design layouts, which optimised space usage and decreased operating costs. Synertec also provided technical overview and support during construction.Â
