SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED CLEANROOM ENGINEERING PROJECT FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY BIONIKA, IN NORTH MACEDONIA

For many years, Termovent has its own production for clean room technology, which is being improved year by year with modern solutions. Clean rooms, with application in the pharmaceutical industry, is an area in which Termovent already has extensive experience. With the knowledge of our engineers, together with production capacities, Termovent has successfully carried out numerous projects in Europe and the world, as well as in our region. In March 2022. we completed a project in Northern Macedonia, for the pharmaceutical company Bionika.

The company we are talking about is located in Skopje. Its a pharmaceutical company for production of solid, semi-solid and liquid dosage forms of drugs. Bionika is a company that respects the highest standards of production in pharmacy, and as such, has a presence in the regional market.

Termovent cooperated with the company Bionika for the first time in 2011. In 2021, we were pleased to renew this cooperation. The purpose of the project was to expand the production capacity of Bionika.

The scope of Termovent’s work on this project included:

  • Delivery and installation of a complete ductwork with associated elements
  • Delivery and installation of air handling units
  • Delivery and installation of clean rooms
  • Delivery and installation of hot and cold water pipelines
  • Delivery and installation of compressed air pipes with associated fittings
  • Delivery and installation of steam boiler
  • Delivery and installation of steam distribution pipelines
  • Delivery and installation of electrical cabinets for the fields of energy and automation
  • Delivery, installation and cabling of peripheral equipment (sensors, actuators, pressure switches, etc)
  • Delivery and installation of steel structure for bearing external channels

Termovent started this project in June 2021. In the period between July and September, we successfully did:

Bionika
  • Design phase
  • Equipment order
  • Creation of 3D models for clean rooms
  • Creation of 3D models of duct and pipe distribution
  • Steam installation
  • Compressed air
  • Coordination with other installations

This was followed by the beginning of works, delivery of complete equipment and the beginning of installation. The initially planned and agreed dynamics with investors were respected. The commissioning, together with the validation, took three weeks.

One of the challenges that Termovent successfully overcame on this project was the lack of space in the technical floor and the suspended ceiling. Also, as a solution for carrying the external channels, a complete construction had to be done. In the scope of automation, the challenge was the integration of old and new SCADA systems. Nevertheless, the project was successfully completed, within the agreed deadline, and we were pleased to include this reference in our experience.
