10 m\u00b3 Stainless Steel Storage Tank Delivered to a Pharmaceutical Company in Chongqing \u2014 Case Study: Leading Manufacturer of Stainless Steel Storage Tanks in Southwest China (Chongqing)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I. Project Background<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A pharmaceutical company in Chongqing primarily manufactures traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulations and chemical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). To accommodate capacity expansion, the company requires a new 10 m\u00b3 stainless steel storage tank for the temporary storage of TCM extracts, oral liquid formulations, and finished API products, as well as for the storage of finished products. The client requires that the equipment comply with GMP standards, be equipped with an automatic CIP (Clean-in-Place) system, and be accompanied by complete material certificates and validation documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

III. Highlights of Customized Non-Standard Solutions<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    CIP Cleaning System<\/span><\/strong>: A 360\u00b0 rotating spray ball is installed at the top of each tank, covering all surfaces\u2014including the walls, top, and bottom. After cleaning, a riboflavin coating test and UV light inspection are conducted to verify that there are no blind spots and that the process meets GMP cleaning validation requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Thermal Insulation and Energy-Efficient Design<\/span><\/strong>: A 50mm polyurethane insulation layer combined with a 304 stainless steel outer shell effectively reduces heat loss. Eight storage tanks can save approximately 180 metric tons of steam annually, resulting in energy cost savings of about 50,000\u201360,000 yuan.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Quick-Opening Manhole + Sight Glass<\/span><\/strong>: A \u03c6450mm quick-opening manhole allows maintenance personnel to easily enter the tank for inspection and cleaning; a sight glass light is installed at the top to facilitate observation of the liquid level and cleaning progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Integrated Instrumentation<\/span><\/strong>: Level, temperature, and pressure signals can all be integrated into the customer\u2019s central control system to enable remote monitoring and data logging.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
