Comi Polaris Case Studies take a closer look at our technologies in use. Customers approach CPS with unique problems that our team is able to solve with innovative and custom solutions. You can read more about the extensive experience that our company brings to every project here.
Carbon Monoxide Purification
The customer is an important manufacturer of industrial and rare gases and needs to purify methane from a natural source for a pharmaceutical application. They want to obtain a highly pure carbon monoxide product and find the best and most cost-effective separation technology for this application.
Retrofitting Dryers and Nutsche Filter Dryers
Delta's experience in the industry has given it the knowledge to approach a revamping solution from any angle. These mini case studies look at several projects we have worked on over the years.
Nutsche Filter Refurbishment due to a Change in Production
When Delta initially built a Nutsche filter dryer for an Italian API producer several years ago, the machine was designed to be operated as per its typical use: with a dried solid as the final product.
Process Issues: an Update from Sintered Sheet to Fabric Filter
When Delta initially built a Nutsche filter dryer for an Italian API producer several years ago, the machine was designed to be operated as per its typical use: with a dried solid as the final product.
Nutsche Filter Dryer Inside a Glove Box
Delta Costruzioni Meccaniche S.r.l. and Food and Pharma Systems S.r.l. combined their expertise to develop a totally new approach for pilot sized Nutsche filter dryer containment. Instead of installing a glove box at the discharge nozzle, the two technical teams designed and built a system where the machine body is totally included inside the isolator, allowing for complete Nutsche filter dryer management in contained conditions.
Dryer Agitator Mechanical Assessment
A customer had been operating several conical dryers for 20 years, producing pharmaceutical intermediates. These machines, which were not produced by Delta, were equipped with double mechanical seal helix agitators, and never encountered any problems during operation, apart from standard maintenance issues.
Laser Cake Detector for Pharmaceutical Applications
API pharmaceuticals production often requires that contact between the product and any devices inside the centrifuge is reduced as much as possible. This is necessary during production to avoid possible contamination of the discharged product (according to GMP requirements). A typical cake detector may result in splashes or wear and tear.
Large Horizontal Pharma Peeler Sterilized with Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide
A primary Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer was outfitting a new plant that produced antibiotics under U.S. and European regulations. The customer had very large volumes and wanted a cheaper solution for sterilization.
Inverting Filter Centrifuges for a Toxic Product Application
The customer in this case works with toxic materials in temperatures as low as -30°C. They were working with old vertical bottom discharge centrifuges that were no longer able to process the product in a safe and efficient way.
Methane Purification
The customer is an important manufacturer of industrial and rare gases and needs to purify methane from a natural source for an electronic application. They want to obtain a highly pure methane product and find the best and most cost-effective separation technology for this application. Read More >>
Methyl Chloride Recovery
The customer, a multinational manufacturer of chemical compounds, needs to internally recover methyl chloride from their process equipment (mainly reactors) to avoid pollution and for reuse in the process. Read More >>
Methylene Chloride Recovery
The customer is a pharmaceutical manufacturing and development company that needs to recover the methylene chloride (MDC) from their process equipment. The MDC is present in both gaseous and liquid streams. Due to a previous experience with steam stripping, the client is reluctant to change technologies.
Temperature Control Unit
The customer is an API manufacturer and needs to thoroughly and accurately control the temperature of one of their reactions in order to guarantee the reaction performance and efficiency.
Waste Water Cost Reduction
Delta's experience in the industry has given it the knowledge to approach a revamping solution from any angle. These mini case studies look at several projects we have worked on over the years.
