Plant Types: Chemical and Specialty Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Fertilizer and Agrichemical
Subtypes: API
Capacity: ~1,200m3 Total Reactor Capacity
190 Acre API Manufacturing Plant Complex Grimsby, England, UK
This world-class, fully integrated API manufacturing site, formerly operated by Novartis, includes over 1,200m3 of total reactor vessel capacity across three distinct production buildings, available for sale or lease as a whole site or individual buildings for operation in-place. The facility could be utilized for pharmaceutical and animal health API manufacturing or repurposed for specialty/fine chemical manufacturing, flavors and fragrances, or agrochemicals.

The site is located adjacent to the river Humber and between the Immingham and Grimsby port facilities, less than 5 minutes from downtown Grimsby, 25 minutes from Humberside Airport, 2.5 hours from Manchester Airport, 3.5 hours from London Heathrow.
Inside the fenceline is approximately 100 acres, with significant development land and infrastructure available inside the fence. There is an additional approximately 90 acres of agricultural land outside the fenceline.
Facility has the capabilities to perform various chemical synthesis, including hydrogenation, Grignard/Friedel-Crafts Reactions, Azide, and Tin Chemistries.

This 321 stainless steel, high-pressure ammonia recovery system was designed by ICI and built by Robert Jenkins, LTD. The column is rated for 275 psig at 220°C. The system used a high-pressure steam-driven reboiler to strip ammonia from crude amine products. The 321 stainless steel (10.5% Ni) column is 2.5' diameter by 54' straight side. It has a design pressure of 275 psig/FV @ 220°C. The column has 22 single-pass valve trays also constructed of 321 stainless steel. The column has an internal overhead condenser mounted in the top head. It also has an internally mounted reboiler in the bottom section of the column. The system includes a feed interchanger, and a column overheads cooler.
