A new Nutrition Dry Blend Facility in Singapore will be built in order to support the rising demand of the nutrition business abroad. The process of Dry Blending will introduce the late product differentiation process which is new to Wyeth wherein this technology is already being implemented in Nestle Nutrition Plants worldwide. This new facility is considered as a Brown-field project. Its utilities especially the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HV AC)- Hygienic Air Handling (HAR) units which is the main focus of the study, should be in accordance to Nestle Corporate Engineering Guidelines. This should incorporate technologies that should ensure the nutrition product we produce is within standards. In the end, since this is an export processing facility, products should meet the minimum requirements of target markets around the globe. The facility is designed to operate 24hrs a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Requirements for continued uninterrupted operation of the current facility during construction have been taken into account in selecting the design solutions. Additionally, future expansion plans shall be considered in the site master plan.
