CIP plants Protinus

With the Protinus project, the production capacity of CSL’s Privigen® (Human Immune Globulin Intravenous – IgPro10) product was increased at the Bern site with a new building and two additional modular plants.
The preparation of cleaning chemicals and the collection of rinsing water from the cleaning process are placed in the multi-storey building on the third basement level. Distribution takes place across all floors to the individual CIP satellites that serve the cleaning objects.

Cleaning of equipment (CIP) is typically one of the largest water users in a biopharmaceutical plant. In view of the changes in the climate and the recognizable environmental problems, the optimization of water consumption is becoming increasingly important in order to utilize the full potential of this natural resource. One possible option is to reuse the final rinse water for pre-rinsing the next cleaning cycle. In this project, TTSol has developed a system that maximizes water savings. The rinsing water from various cleaning steps is collected in specially designed containers and can be reused. Proper hygienic design and regular sanitization reduce the risk of contamination and ensure safe operation.
Due to the very short realization time, the client decided to realize the project with established and experienced planning companies. TTSol was commissioned to plan the CIP systems as a demonstrably competent partner familiar with the customer’s requirements.
