From design to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), quality is built into every stage of our process at Flow Technology. Our latest Ultrafiltration/Diafiltration skid, delivered to a customer in Belgium for cGMP downstream bioprocessing of bulk drug substances, demonstrates this approach in practice. Designed, manufactured, and successfully Factory Acceptance Tested (FAT), the skid was custom engineered for optimal fluid dynamics, a compact footprint and easy maintenance access. Built to high sanitary standards with precise orbital welding and premium components, it successfully passed all functional, automation, and pressure tests helping to ensure rapid site integration.

Key Design Features:
✅ High-Capacity System: Large 68 m² total cassette capacity for high-throughput ultrafiltration.
✅ Drainable Clean Build: Sloped 316L stainless steel piping to ensure complete process drainage.
✅ Variable Speed Drive: 7.5 kW hygienic rotary lobe feed pump selected to meet the system flow and pressure requirements.
✅ Mobile Frame Design: Detachable filter holder and hydraulic unit on a removable mobile frame.
✅ Sterile Vent Protection: Integrated sterile air filter that vents safely to prevent contamination.

Main Functions:
➡️ TMP Process Regulation: Filtration operations managed through automated dual-point trans-membrane pressure control.
➡️ Safe System Emptying: Low-point drain system to remove every drop of product.
➡️ Inline Analytics: Monitors process streams using inline UV, conductivity, pressure, and temperature.
➡️ Emergency Safety Interlocks: Multi-point emergency stop to instantly halt the motor and isolate instrument air.

This project reflects our commitment to delivering engineered process solutions that support performance, compliance, and reliability from design through Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
