High Integrity, Hygienic Heat Exchangers & Pressure Equipment for Pharmaceutical & Bioprocessing Applications
The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries demand the highest standards of hygiene, precision, and process integrity. Graham Hart Process Technology designs and manufactures high integrity, internally polished heat exchangers and pressure equipment specifically for pharmaceutical, bioprocessing, biopharmaceutical, and personal care product applications.
Our equipment is engineered to support product purity, patient safety, and regulatory compliance, operating reliably in environments where contamination risk must be eliminated and validation requirements are stringent.
Our Approach to the Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, process control and hygiene are non-negotiable.
We work closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers, OEMs, and system integrators to deliver equipment that:
-
Meets exact hygienic and surface finish requirements
-
Supports validated and repeatable processes
-
Minimises the risk of cross-contamination
-
Integrates seamlessly into regulated production environments
Our approach is built around right first time manufacture, ensuring equipment performs as intended from installation through qualification and ongoing operation.
Pharmaceutical Capabilities & Applications

Hygienic Design & ASME BPE Compliance
Units can be manufactured to meet the high hygienic design standards of the ASME BPE, ensuring product purity, cleanability, and patient safety.
Key hygienic and contamination-control design features include:
-
Internally polished wetted surfaces
-
Mechanical or electropolishing to achieve specified surface roughness values
-
Double tubesheet designs to prevent cross-contamination between process and service fluids
-
Special tubeplate configurations tailored to hygienic duty requirements
These features support effective CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilise-in-Place) regimes, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent cleaning validation.
Precision Manufacturing & Advanced Fabrication Techniques
To meet the demanding requirements of pharmaceutical applications, our designs may incorporate:
-
High-precision tube-to-tubeplate welding
-
Special hygienic connections and nozzles
-
Controlled welding procedures and inspection regimes
-
Tight dimensional tolerances and surface finish control
All fabrication processes are carefully managed to ensure repeatability, traceability, and compliance with pharmaceutical industry expectations.
