Fisher-Rosemount extends DeltaV into bioprocess system

Fisher-Rosemount Systems' DeltaV automation system was selected Nov. 9 by New Brunswick Scientific's (Edison, N.J.) BioProcess Systems Group to automate a custom designed bioprocess system for a California-based biotechnology firm. The system consists of two 500-liter fermentation units, each with a 300-liter feed vessel.

Fisher-Rosemount Systems’ DeltaV automation system was selected Nov. 9 by New Brunswick Scientific’s (Edison, N.J.) BioProcess Systems Group to automate a custom designed bioprocess system for a California-based biotechnology firm. The system consists of two 500-liter fermentation units, each with a 300-liter feed vessel. For the first time, this extends DeltaV into the custom-designed, pre-engineered bioprocess system sector. This program’s goal is to simplify integration of these bioprocess systems with the primary manufacturing facility automation system. Already widespread in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry, DeltaV is installed in applications of 24 of the top 25 pharmaceutical manufacturers.
