2674 - Supply of Flow Booths

The manufacturing process uses flammable solvents, primarily acetonitrile. CPI's Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre is not ATEX rated, so equipment must be contained within flow booths to prevent flammable atmospheres extending into the cleanroom. Operating in flow booths also reduces operator exposure to harmful compounds being handled during manufacturing. The flow booth design should minimise modifications to the cleanroom’s existing air supply and extraction systems. The full scope of requirements for designing and providing flow booths for Lot 1 of this tender can be found in the document titled ‘2674-URS’in the tender pack.

Operating in flow booths also reduces operator exposure to harmful compounds being handled during manufacturing. The document titled 2674-URS outlines upgrades to Cleanroom 4's air supply and extraction systems that may be required to meet the air flow requirements of the flow booths that are to be installed within Cleanroom 4. This lot is included as part of this tender in case CPI decide to proceed with this option in the future.
