Industries

The product sets the process. The process shapes the plant.

LAPORTE engineers pharmaceutical, agrifood, industrial biotech, and other industrial plants. Process requirements guide the equipment, utilities, controls, power, and facility work.

Plant context

Engineering begins with what the plant makes and handles.

Aseptic production, thermal food processing, fermentation, dry material handling, and industrial manufacturing place different demands on rooms, equipment, utilities, controls, safety, and qualification.

01 / Regulated production

Pharmaceutical

Process and facility work for pharmaceutical production ties formulation, processing, cleaning, utilities, controlled spaces, automation, and qualification to the manufacturing method.

Process context

Liquid and semisolid formulation, solid processing, aseptic processing, cytotoxic handling, lyophilization, chromatography, filtration, CIP, sterilization, and cell culture.

03 / Bioprocessing

Industrial Biotech

Industrial biotech work moves from scale-up and media preparation into fermentation, recovery, concentration, and finishing operations.

Process context

Sterile and non-sterile fermentation, batch and continuous fermentation, separation, membrane work, cell disruption, concentration, crystallization, and drying.

04 / Industrial production

Industrial Plants

Industrial plant work coordinates process equipment, material movement, automation, networks, power, safety, utilities, and building systems.

Process context

Hazardous-area installations, industrial risk work, machine safety, robotics, vision, industrial networks, filling, packaging, and equipment integration.
