Description

This PIN is for market research purposes and to highlight to the market an upcoming opportunity to provide the Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation centre (CMAC) with a 5 stage Mixed-Suspension, Mixed-Product-Removal (MSMPR) system to operate in their existing world class research facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. As a research centre focusing on delivering high impact industrially relevant research with a broad portfolio of funding streams from government funded research through pre-competitive and confidential projects, CMAC require a new MSMPR to enhance our capability and continue to drive our Quality by Digital design initiative

Total Quantity or Scope

The University, on behalf of CMAC, are looking to procure a 5-stage MSMPR. It is anticipated that the equipment will offer the following attributes: - 5-stage MSMPR, with option not to have to run all vessels all the time - Optional flexibility- Split as 2 and 3 stage modules with capability to connect together for full 5-stage (not essential criteria, but desirable) - the equipment should offer “fixed items” above lid with options to change vessel volumes accepting there will be limits due to vessel dimensions and flange diameter. Vessel sizes essential = 250ml to 1L and desirable = 250ml up to 5L - Control system that we can interface PAT to, extract real-time data, control process and ability to integrate to advanced process control APC e.g. self-optimising algorithms. - Ability to run lights out – level sensors + failsafe safety cutouts/divert to waste - Ability to put at least 1 PAT probe into each vessel (e.g. UV, IR, Easyviewer, FBRM or Blaze probes) - 5-200ml/min of total solution flow of product - Periodic or continuous slurry transfer with flexibility vs frequency and preferably volume as well. - Heated/jacketed transfer lines - Feed pumps (preferably with heated pump heads or in hot-box) with mass flow meters or equivalent - Auto sampling from slurry capability (supplier to supply or CMAC to supply)
