Plasma laboratory overhauls CIP system

12 August 2008

Bio Products Laboratory has upgraded its CIP system with a Lichfield, UK based process control integration specialist.

FMA Process Engineering was bought in to boost functionality and operability for the Elstree based, government owned supplier of plasma derived products.

Cleaning cycle frequency has been increased and FMA claims to have enabled Bio Products to further improve its cGMP capabilities regarding audit trails and quality procedures. Furthermore, the company has upgraded the plasma specialist’s existing Siemens PLC and HMI.

Paul Bunyan, sales and marketing director at FMA, said: ‘Committed to transparency in everything we do, we went to considerable lengths to demonstrate the logic behind our recommendations regarding the PLC modifications.”
