Bio-G presents novel Facility Fit
technology at BPI Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina
October 21, 2009: Bioproduction Group's new Facility
Fit technology was presented by Rick Johnston at an invited address for this
year's Bioprocess International (BPI) Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina. BPI
is the largest conference for biopharmaceutical operations in the industry. His
presentation showed how Bio-G's advanced simulation platform can be used to
provide highly accurate performance estimates of new products and process
platforms in existing plants.
Fitting new processes or products into existing plants has traditionally been
evaluated using chemical mass-balance models. However these process models are
often poor estimators of actual process performance, since they fail to account
for operational issues in the plant. Bio-G's research has shown that only around
50% of the overall processing time and 20% of the variability in the process are
explained by these models.
Bio-G's Facility Fit model for the first time integrates operational plant data
into late-stage process design. This allows a much more accurate view of process
fit, speeding technology transfer as well as accurately estimating key
parameters like run rate. The technology is currently being deployed in a number
of large biopharmaceutical manufacturers.
