Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences
plants and separation, end to end.
Pharmaceutical and life-sciences projects need both the sanitary fabrication and the membrane chemistry to recover expensive solvents. We build sanitary 316L vessels and skids, and we deploy our own pervaporation and vapor permeation systems for solvent dehydration, azeotrope breaking, and VOC capture, including the azeotropic mixtures that distillation cannot break. API manufacturing, fine chemicals, solvent recovery, and process-water purification.

Membrane technologies
The right process for the fluid.
Pharmaceutical applications usually narrow to two technologies. Pervaporation handles bulk water removal from liquid solvent streams; vapor permeation polishes vapor-phase streams. We design hybrids of the two when the customer's spec demands both bulk and final purity in one system.
