Building Automation Systems – Reducing Cross-Contamination Risks Overview A manufacturing facility asked Grantek to help mitigate risk of cross- contamination caused by valve malfunctions on their fluid bed dryer system. The facility has received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) observation that the fluid bed had the potential to introduce cross-contamination into the product if its valves malfunctioned or failed. Challenges The fluid bed dryer equipment skid requires additional monitoring of valve position, to alert facility technicians of a valve malfunction. The additional sensors must be added to the existing Building Automation Systems (BAS). Solution Grantek added valve position detection sensors to the fluid bed dryer equipment skid, programmed the skid’s PLC to manage the
