What We Do

Comprehensive Sterile Engineering Services

Facility design — cleanroom layout blueprint and plant building

Facility Design

Clean room design, production flows, pressure cascades, and layout optimization for regulatory compliance.

Equipment and URS — user requirement specification checklist beside a process vessel

Equipment & URS

Specification writing, vendor evaluation, FAT/SAT management, and procurement optimization.

Production processes and scale-up — lab flask, bioreactor and filling line with a growth arrow

Production & Scale-Up

Process development, tech transfer from R&D to production, and complex product manufacturing.

New technologies and equipment implementation — filling machine with automation icons

New Technologies & Equipment Implementation

Sterile production involves bulk sterilization, homogenization, and particle size reduction, where strong technical knowledge improves implementation accuracy.

Training — instructor presenting to a group of participants

Training

Targeted training programs for engineering, operations, and quality teams supporting sterile manufacturing environments.

Support for ongoing production — remote engineering support for a pharmaceutical production line

Support on-going Production Activities

Ongoing production support for sterile manufacturing sites, including troubleshooting, process optimization, and assistance with operational challenges.

Sterilization processes design and validation — autoclave loaded with vials and a cycle timer

Sterilization Processes - Design and Validation

Design and validation support for moist and dry heat sterilization processes, including cycle development, technical review, and process assurance.

CQV — commissioning, qualification and validation checklist with a process tank

CQV

IQ/OQ/PQ management, protocol writing, clean room qualification, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Troubleshooting and emergency support — filling line inspection with wrench and alarm

Troubleshooting

Rapid root cause analysis, emergency support for filling lines, and complex process diagnostics.

Annex 1 and regulatory compliance — cleanroom gowning airlock with a GMP compliance checklist

Annex 1 Compliance

CCS development, gap analysis, barrier technology guidance, and PUPSIT implementation.

Filling lines — aseptic filling machine dosing vials and syringes

Filling Lines

Vials, syringes, ampoules — washing, depyrogenation, filling, stoppering, and crimping.

Automatic visual inspection — camera-based vial inspection on a conveyor

Automatic Visual Inspection Systems

Support from purchasing to testing for automatic visual inspection systems in sterile production lines.

The 10AR Difference

Three reasons owners keep calling back.

Owner's representative — a hand shielding a pharmaceutical production facility

Owner's Representative

Unlike engineering firms that serve their own interests, Arnan stands on the owner's side — protecting your investment, ensuring every decision serves your facility's long-term operational efficiency and regulatory standing.

Equipment DNA knowledge — DNA strand with bioreactor and process equipment

Equipment DNA Knowledge

Intimate familiarity with leading vendors — Bosch, Optima, Skan, Fedegari and more — enables precise specification writing, effective technical negotiations, and optimal equipment selection at the best cost.

Holistic one-stop-shop — pharmaceutical plant and filling line in a continuous support cycle

Holistic One-Stop-Shop

From the big picture of an entire plant's needs down to the root cause of a specific filling line defect — comprehensive, continuous support until the collaboration objective is fully achieved.

Laboratory sampling of a sterile water system at a global manufacturing site

Case · 001 / 2023 — Global Mfg. Site · Sterile Water System

— Featured Case Study

Saving a global facility
from regulatory shutdown.

A dead leg discovered in the sterile water system of a multi-site manufacturer threatened complete regulatory closure. Systematic root-cause analysis led to a rapid loop redesign — the facility maintained continuous operation and restored full compliance.

— Challenge

Dead leg in WFI system risking shutdown

— Solution

Loop redesign, zero production downtime

— Outcome

Facility saved, compliance restored
