Project summary
GlaxoSmithKline in Worthing is one of eighteen key GSK sites in the UK.
The challenge
As part of a major new upgrade of existing manufacturing facilities designed to improve process flows and regulatory compliance, the need for new cold water pressure and flow boosting systems to meet the demands of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process was identified.
The solution
Two identical systems were developed, one for each processing unit. Given the nature of the application and the need to minimise the floor space taken up, 1000 litre category 5 compatible water tanks were supplied mounted on steel frames, each above a twin pump booster set capable of delivering 2.0 litres per second at a pressure of 5.0 bar.
Client testimonial
“Locating the booster set underneath the cold water storage tank on a metal support frame provided a compact high performance solution where floor space was restricted.”
