Overview: TCI America is the US-based manufacturing and R&D subsidiary of Tokyo Kasei (Tokyo Chemical Industry). TCI produces various types of organic chemicals, primarily for the pharmaceutical industry. InSpec was retained by TCI to engineer the conversion of an existing manufacturing building into a high-purity organic chemistry production facility. This project involved substantial renovation of an existing building, equipment setting, process piping, process electrical, structural steel equipment platforms as well as procurement of selected process equipment. Among the unique aspects of this project included installation of specialized glass-lined equipment and piping systems, requiring extreme caution during handling and installation. InSpec Group also developed a custom controls system for the facility, including panel design, instruments specification, programming and start-up.
