Many potential projects now require rapid response feasibility studies to ascertain if there is a business case for the development of the work. This usually requires a study to include process impact, potential equipment and facilities upgrades along with associated cost analysis and business cost-benefits. There is often a requirement to establish a business case with little pre-spend and with challenging timescales – this is where Epsilon can help.
Epsilon have undertaken a large number of such projects many of which have been developed into full-scale solutions. These projects vary in complexity and detail, to illustrate the variety and breadth of work we have recently been involved in recent design studies include:
| A new downflow booth and facilities modification. | Design study value £8000 Turnkey project value £106,000 | |
| Modifications to high containment small-scale solid dose equipment and potential upgrades. | Design study £11,000 Execution of upgrades – ongoing £188,000 | |
| Installation of aerosol filling line and facility/utility modifications and impact. | Feasibility study £5,500 Detail design £23,000 Full turnkey project £480,000 | |
| Introduction of a new wash bay within an existing area. | Design study £6,000 | |
| Installation of capsule filling lines and facility upgrades. | Design study £7,500 | |
| Gas module upgrade (N2) capacity problem. | Design study £4,000 Full project £48,000 |
Impact assessment for the transfer of a new OSD product to site requiring throughput modelling, facilities and utilities impact, layouts, equipment costs and mitigation of existing business interruption.
Feasibility Study for the introduction of a high potent compound to the site. This required full assessment of logistics, containment, throughput analysis, layouts, utilities and facilities plus associated costs to 25% accuracy.
