Pilot project of UHT plant
Project description
The process technology consists of a UHT plant (Ultra High Temperature) incl. aseptic tanks and a bag-in-box filling machine.
Today the client manufactures the product as a fresh product. However, the client wished the pilot project to involve a long-life product. The process plant is to be integrated with the existing process plant and CIP.
The process
Through the project we acted as technical consultants and analysed the client’s requirements and design data basis, and, on the basis of these, we recommended the best technology for the process plant. All specifications were gathered in a single tender material, including building footprint, standards and guidelines for the tender. In addition, we prepared a draft for the machine plan and estimated the process plant’s consumption figures.
Concurrently, the tender evaluation, including scorecard, and relating to all tenderers, was gathered in one document and reported to the client. Moreover, the client was given a CapEx with an uncertainty level of +/-20%.
