01

What the facility produces and why it matters locally

Sterile parenteral solution production from pharmaceutical water and compounding through filling, sterilisation and microbiological release. The investment case is tested against import dependency, procurement demand, supply resilience, attainable local content and regional export access. Portfolio definition precedes equipment selection so capital is not locked into an incompatible process.

02

Indicative capital band

USD 18–55M. The range covers core equipment, controlled environments, process utilities, installation, qualification, technology transfer and initial training at the stated tier. Preliminary engineering range; excludes land, finance cost, taxes and import duty. Final scope and price are confirmed at the feasibility gate.

03

Footprint and clean environment

5,000–14,000 m² gross; 1,500–5,000 m² GMP production/support with Grade A–D areas according to container and process.

Terminally sterilised filling commonly uses Grade C/D backgrounds subject to risk assessment; aseptic filling requires Grade A with Grade B background. Utility and component preparation grades are separately defined.

Programme from design basis to operation

01 Feasibility & design basis02 Architecture & process engineering03 Infrastructure & clean environment04 Equipment procurement and FAT05 Installation, SAT and qualification06 Process validation and training07 Operational handover

24–40 months to qualified facility and process-validation batches. Permit, authority review, civil-condition, customs and client approval delays sit outside the base programme unless expressly contracted.

05

Installed capacity tiers

Tier 1: 8–20M units/year; Tier 2: 30–70M units/year; container size, cycle time and shifts dependent.

Capacity assumes qualified materials, stated shifts, planned maintenance and validated yield; it is not the sum of nominal machine speeds.

06

Process flow and utilities

Core process

  • Purified water/WFI generation and distribution
  • Raw-material dispensing and solution compounding
  • Sterile filtration where applicable
  • Bottle or flexible-bag forming/filling/sealing
  • Terminal sterilisation or aseptic processing
  • Visual inspection, container closure integrity, sterility and release

Site and utilities

High-capacity PW/WFI, clean steam, plant steam, chilled water, compressed gases, redundant power, HVAC, wastewater treatment and microbiological monitoring.

07

Regulatory and quality endpoint

National GMP and sterile-product registration; EU-GMP readiness where scoped. Facility/process readiness typically 24–36 months; authority approval separate.

Infinity IVD delivers the contracted facility, QMS, validation and dossier work. Certification or market authorisation is granted only by the competent independent authority.

08

Staffing and transfer of know-how

Indicative 100–280 FTE; 16–28 weeks sterile GMP, utilities, aseptic/terminal process and microbiology training.

09

Equipment classes and procurement boundary

  • PW/WFI, clean steam and distribution loops
  • Jacketed compounding vessels and transfer systems
  • BFS/FFS or bottle/bag filling lines
  • Autoclaves and visual inspection
  • Sterility, endotoxin, chemistry and microbiology QC

The feasibility equipment register identifies supplied equipment, client-supplied items, spares, initial consumables, FAT/SAT responsibility, calibration and qualification ownership.

10

Critical process risks and operating economics

  • Bioburden/endotoxin excursion
  • WFI loop contamination
  • Fill-volume or seal-integrity failure
  • Sterilisation lethality deviation
  • Visible/particulate contamination

Operating economics are issued as a sensitivity model using local labour, utilities, materials, yield, utilisation and financing assumptions; they are not a guaranteed return.
