Evolving concepts in plant design: part 1
June 1st 2006The construction of a new oral solid form (OSF) plant is an important decision and a real challenge. The team in charge of the basic conceptual design has to ensure that the new plant will be up-to-date and efficient not only at start-up, but for the next 15–20 years. This means that the project must be able to adjust to capacity changes, product changes and technology changes. It sometimes seems like an impossible challenge.
