Rintekno - Industrial and Service Plants and Facilities

Rintekno is involved in designing and building industrial and service plants and facilities. Our experience and flexibility allow us to handle every step of a project - from preliminary studies and process development to turnkey deliveries.

CLIENT AND INDUSTRY SPECIFIC PRODUCTION PROCESSES

The production processes and the features of a plant are client and industry branch specific. The manner of setting up and organizing new facilities and revamping the existing ones is specific to the client. Production technologies in life science industries involve understanding the core of the process and its management.

Rintekno focuses on serving customers in a technological capacity in all these respects. ICT services have to go at the same pace as development of the new technologies. In order to implement the process inventions globally, the clients need safe, efficient and versatile ways to transfer and handle proprietary information.

Rintekno's mission is to serve the customer from the first process idea through the engineering and construction to the plant commissioning, start-up and eventual validation. Our philosophy is to use our own resources for all the key engineering and project management disciplines for the implementation of a life science project.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE LIFE SCIENCE INDUSTRIES

The characteristic of life science projects is to specify each piece of equipment, device and system, procure them and manage the construction of the plant from those components (EPCM-contract). We may also serve the client by taking the responsibility of supplying the whole or parts of the plant, e.g. the process automation (design and build contract).

The engineering tools, procedures and resources are continuously developed to comply with the ever changing and challenging technological, regulative needs of the client. The demand to have everything documented, traced and controlled, in compliance with cGMP, is the essence of pharmaceutical production, especially for the mandatory plant validation. Similarly, the project should also produce documents, certification and approvals in compliance with GMP and GAMP. Rintekno takes care of the all the key engineering disciplines, procedures and is well equipped to support the client in performing a fast track life sciences project.

CLIENT AND TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC TOOLS AND RESOURCES

We support customers commercializing their product innovations and new process developments. The engineering disciplines will usually start with the client's confidential, technological information. This is often best done in a long-term partnership in a mutual commitment. The benefit of this partnership is to obtain client and technology-specific tools, resources and procedures.

Building and operating life science industries is very demanding. The client has to comply with product and process safety, health and environmental regulations, and at the same time achieve the company targets of better image, performance, qualities and overall economies. This requires good processes and good management, but also cost and performance-conscious design solutions. In addition, everything has to be well documented.

WEB-BASED DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Our services cover the development of a web-based document management system used during the project. The same document database is essentially available for the client after the start-up to assure the conformity with regulations. To achieve and maintain a well operating process plant an advanced process control and information management system has to be built. Our RinSys (available from Systecon) is such a web-based, remotely operable system.

In addition to good engineering practise Rintekno has developed particular service products for life science projects such as

• RinSIM – a modelling service including a batch simulation, especially useful for Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
• RinCIP - cleaning in place solutions
• RinAQUA - for pharmaceutical water solutions
• RinPLAS - for plasma fractionation facilities
• RinVAL - for prospective qualification
• RinATEX - for explosion protection management in compliance with directives
• RinVOC - for emission management
