XOMOX Lined Valves - Success Story in API Application

XOMOX® LINED PRODUCTS SUPPORT MODULAR SKIDS FOR API MANUFACTURING

How XOMOX® lined flow-control products help address demanding requirements in modular pharmaceutical process systems

Modular process skids play an important role in modern pharmaceutical manufacturing, integrating multiple process functions into compact, pre-engineered systems that can be assembled, tested and qualified before installation.

For a major API manufacturing project, 30 modular process skids were built for a new production facility. The skid design required reliable lined flow-control products suitable for demanding pharmaceutical process applications and integration into the modular equipment concept.

KEY OPERATIONAL RISKS

API manufacturing can expose flow-control equipment to aggressive and corrosive process media. Within modular skid systems, component performance can directly affect process reliability, containment and equipment availability.

Key Operational Risks

Corrosion and chemical attack from aggressive process media
Loss of containment at critical isolation points
Reverse flow affecting upstream equipment or process conditions
Limited process visibility where visual confirmation is required
Project delays when critical components do not align with skid assembly schedules

THE CHALLENGE

The skid builder required a reliable lined-product package that could be efficiently integrated into the modular system while meeting the demands of the pharmaceutical manufacturing application.

Rather than developing project-specific valve designs, the objective was to identify proven, standardized products covering isolation, backflow prevention and visual process monitoring while supporting the required project schedule.

THE XOMOX SOLUTION

A combination of proven XOMOX® lined products was selected for the modular process skids:

XLB Lined Ball Valves

For reliable isolation of process media.

XLC Lined Check Valves

For protection against reverse flow within process lines.

G101 Lined Sight Glasses

For visual observation of process media.

Using standardized XOMOX® products allowed the lined valve package to be integrated into the modular skid design without requiring project-specific product modifications.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

30 Modular Process Skids

XOMOX® lined products supported a large-scale modular API manufacturing project.

Three Lined Product Types

Ball valves, check valves and sight glasses addressed different flow-control functions within the skid package.

Standardized Product Solution

Proven standard products supported integration without requiring project-specific product modifications.
