A private equity firm engaged Isomer to conduct technical, project execution, and operational evaluations of an existing industrial biomanufacturing facility. The study involved reviewing the process train and technology utilized, verifying the availability of sufficient engineering documentation, and spending time on site to inspect the existing infrastructure for scalability and interview key operations personnel. Technical reviews covered equipment selection, process controls, process sanitation, fire protection, site safety, emissions, and electrical classifications. The team leveraged knowledge of historical industry and construction practices to supplement insights gained from visual inspection. Isomer collaborated with the owner to produce a detailed report that outlined red flags identified during the technical review, recommendations for long-term CAPEX planning, and rough order of magnitude cost considerations.
