Case study 02 / 03
Sample Project — Sterile Fill-Finish Suite
This sample shows how a sterile fill-finish suite could be planned around the aseptic process, from barrier technology selection to cleanroom qualification. The scenario assumes a new suite for filling liquid products into vials within an existing building.
This is a sample case study. It shows how ALVEDA presents project work; it does not describe a completed ALVEDA project, and it names no client, location, date or measured result.

Services in scope
- 04Cleanroom DesignClassified spaces with defined pressure cascades, airlocks and gowning sequences.
- 05HVAC EngineeringAir systems designed for cleanliness, pressure, temperature and humidity control.
- 06Process UtilitiesSteam, air, gases, water and drainage systems sized and specified for regulated production.
- 07GMP & ComplianceFacility design reviewed against GMP requirements at every stage.
- 08Qualification & Validation (CQV)Documented evidence that facilities, utilities and equipment perform as intended.
Challenges
- 01
Holding Grade A conditions at the filling zone within a Grade B background, with a pressure cascade that stays stable during transfers.
- 02
Integrating the isolator or RABS, sterilization equipment, and pass-through hatches without disturbing unidirectional airflow.
- 03
Defining WFI, clean steam, and process gas systems early, including sampling points and sanitization methods.
Engineering approach
- Step 01
Build the layout from the aseptic process flow and the contamination control strategy, then place airlocks, gowning stages, and the pressure cascade around it.
- Step 02
Design the HVAC with dedicated AHUs and terminal HEPA filtration, and plan airflow visualization studies from the outset.
- Step 03
Specify BMS and EMS monitoring points, alarm limits, and data integrity requirements alongside the room data sheets.
- Step 04
Plan FAT and SAT for the filling line and isolator, and carry commissioning results into IQ, OQ, and PQ under one CQV plan.
Intended outcome
The approach is aimed at a suite in which cleanrooms, HVAC, and utilities are designed as one contamination control system. It is intended to give the qualification team a traceable basis from URS to PQ.
Stated as design intent. A sample case study reports no measured result.
