Biotechnology Facility Delivery: From Concept to License
27-28 February
1.2 CEUs
Does your company really know what it risks when developing a new large scale biotechnology facility, or when expanding an existing one?
This seminar helps you develop a top to bottom mitigation plan with guidance from industry professionals with front line experience. Learn from those who built facilities and had to correct equipment failures, downtime, scratched batches, and reduced efficiency when “going big” backfired. You should walk away with a solid understanding of the risks your company may face and an assessment of whether your facility will realize efficiency levels and the cost savings anticipated by “going big.”
There will be discussion at the end of every presentation. Presentations include:
- How to build or expand to a successful world scale biotechnology facility
- How engineering, procurement, validation, and commissioning integrates with construction management
- The technical, fabrication and construction issues faced by large facilities
- Equipment scale for best cost
- Technical challenges with multiple large scale bioreactors,
- Technical challenges for production retention while an expansion is brought on stream
Industry trends will emerge from presentations as well as from participant input, providing an excellent opportunity for generating best practices and innovative ideas from which all can benefit.
