What effect can Single-Use technology have on capital and start up costs associated with designing and commissioning a new manufacturing facility?
Single-Use systems typically have lower capital and start up costs. The capital equipment associated with supporting a Single-Use unit operation is far less expensive than for multi-use stainless steel systems, since they will not be in contact with the process fluids.One example is that the materials used to build support systems for Single-Use operations need not be electro polished and passivated, like the product contact surfaces of a multi-use system. Commissioning a Single-Use system is often faster and simpler than a multi-use system.The product contact surfaces or Single-Use systems can be qualified well in advance of the actual installation, compressing start-up commissioning time lines.
