AUSTAR Supports TCM Manufacturer with Pressure Vessel Modification, Enhancing Production Continuity & Compliance

Project Background：

The client is a pharmaceutical company specializing in proprietary Chinese medicines. Its flagship injection is used in the treatment of lung cancer, liver cancer, and other major diseases. The production process relies on multiple pressure vessels for material preparation and processing. However, one tank developed a medium leak due to aging and corrosion. Although partial repairs were attempted, the defect—measuring over half the wall thickness deep and in a main pressure-bearing part—failed to meet safety standards, needing an overall replacement.

AUSTAR Solution：

1. Compliant Pressure Vessel Replacement

• Old tank removal: Disconnecting process connections → Safe medium discharge → Hoisting and removing the original equipment

• New vessel installation: Hoisting and positioning → Bolt fastening → Restoring process pipelines → Rebuilding insulation

• Qualification & acceptance: Constructed by qualified installers; transfer quality/supervision certificates and full documents

2. Functional Enhancements to the Liquid Preparation Module

• Platform extension: Expanding the operation area to boost material handling efficiency

• Safety upgrades: Adding protective handrails and anti-skid platforms

AUSTAR Value & Client Benefits：

• Production continuity: New tank stops leaks, avoiding shutdown losses

• Operational safety: Extended platform/handrails cut worker risks
