BAILEYGOMM was appointed to deliver advanced mechanical services for Organon, a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer. The project focused on enhancing the site’s chilled water capacity to support current operations and allow future expansion.
Organon’s facilities demand high-performance, energy-efficient systems to maintain critical processes, making reliable cooling infrastructure a top priority. To achieve this, BAILEYGOMM engaged our team to deliver precise pipework and pump skid installation, integrating innovative thermal storage technology seamlessly with existing plant systems.
The project
The project involved installing pipework and a pump skid from modular Organic Heat Exchanger (O-Hx) plantrooms and a cooling tower. We connected these directly into the site’s chilled water system. The installation was designed to supplement the existing chilled water plant and allow multiple O-Hx units to be added in the future.
Organic Heat Exchangers are thermal energy storage systems that efficiently store and release cooling energy. Unlike conventional heat exchangers, they use a proprietary “binary ice” material with a large surface area. This material stores high volumes of thermal energy. Energy is stored during off-peak periods and released on demand, reducing costs and carbon emissions. The system uses AI to optimise the charging and discharging cycle, maintaining a stable cooling supply. Scope installed and commissioned the system, ensuring full operational functionality.
The challenges
Working on a live pharmaceutical site required careful planning to avoid disruption. Precise alignment of pipework and pump skid components was critical for efficiency. Integrating the O-Hx system with the existing chilled water plant demanded close coordination with Organon and BAILEYGOMM. Safety, quality, and compliance standards had to be met at all stages. Furthermore, the system needed flexibility in order to allow future expansion without interrupting current operations.
The outcome
We successfully completed the project on time, installing and commissioning all pipework and pump skid components as planned. The O-Hx system now supplements Organon’s existing chilled water plant, improving efficiency and reliability. By storing excess cooling energy during off-peak periods, the system reduces costs and carbon emissions. The modular design allows Organon to expand capacity easily in the future.
Through careful planning, technical expertise, and seamless collaboration, we delivered enhanced cooling capacity for Organon without disruption. The project provides a sustainable and scalable solution for the site’s thermal management needs.
