Lee Industries, Inc. Meets Validation Protocols with Unique Stand-Alone Facility for Factory Acceptance Testing

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Philipsburg, Pa –Validation is a major focus for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Lee Industries uniquely meets requirements with a stand-alone Factory Acceptance Testing (F.A.T.) facility.

“Once equipment fabrication is completed, the vessels are moved to our off-site inspection and testing facility, assisting our clients in the execution of pre-established protocols,” said Greg Wharton, vice president for Lee Industries, “These protocols and the customized validation documentation package, become part of F.A.T. The inspection, testing and document review are pre-validation. The dedicated facility eliminates testing at congested plant sites, or by third party vendors, requiring additional shipping and handling, and potentially delaying delivery and start-up,” explained Wharton.

The 16,000 sq. ft. F.A.T. facility accommodates a range of vessel sizes. Schedule coordination minimizes visits on multi-unit projects. A large capacity D.I. water system, two 10-ton overhead cranes, and modern conference area, combined with an experienced team of engineers, assure detailed preparation and unsurpassed customer service.
