From Concept to commissioning

Process Engineering Designed for your Bioprocess

Whether you're building a new facility, expanding capacity, or optimizing an existing process, our Process Engineering team helps you move forward with clarity and confidence. From upstream to fill/finish, we work alongside you to design and implement bioprocesses that are scalable, efficient, and GMP-ready.

What we do in process engineering

At AES, process engineering goes far beyond drawings. We help biopharma and biotech companies solve technical challenges across the full product lifecycle—designing tailored systems that support breakthrough science. Our team combines deep biotech experience with a hands-on approach to streamline your process design, equipment layout, and facility integration.

our process engineering support includes:

WHY AES

Biotech
Built-In

We specialize in biopharma. Our engineers understand the need of mAbs, cell and gene therapies, cell-based meats, and more—from process chemistry to facility flow.

Cross-Functional From the Start

We build with the full lifesycle in mind, coordinating closely with our CQV, automation, and utility teams to reduce friction down the line

Flexible Delivery Models

From early-phase studies to full facility builds, we scale our support to match your timeline, budget, and project goals.

CORE Capabilities of Process Engineering

Designing end-to-end bioprocesses that scale.

  • Upstream & Downstream Mapping: From fermentation to purification, we design complete process flows.

  • Mass & Energy Balances: Define process inputs, outputs, and utility needs.

  • PFDs & P&IDs: Develop precise process flow diagrams and instrumentation layouts.

  • Technology Transfer: Seamlessly scale from lab to pilot to production.

Designing processes that fit your space—and your science.

  • Equipment Selection & Sizing: Match vessels, skids, and filtration systems to your process.

  • Single-Use or Stainless Strategy: Align design with your production philosophy.

  • Skid Integration: Optimize layout and interconnections for modular or custom systems.

  • Process Intensification: Reduce footprint and improve yield through advanced strategies.

Bridging engineering with smart automation.

  • Control Philosophy Development: Define how your process will operate—safely and reliably.

  • Sensor Strategy: Recommend inline sensors for real-time control.

  • PAT Integration: Enable real-time monitoring and analytics.

  • Batch Record Automation: Support for eBR systems and audit trail readiness.

Designing with quality and compliance in mind.

  • cGMP Design Compliance: Meet global regulatory expectations from day one.

  • HAZOP & Risk Analysis: Proactively identify and mitigate risks.

  • Validation Support: Contribute to IQ/OQ/PQ documentation and readiness.

  • CPP Identification: Link process performance to product quality.

Improving yield, reducing downtime, and solving problems fast.

  • Yield & Throughput Improvements: Tune feed strategies and harvest parameters.

  • Cycle Time Reduction: Identify and eliminate bottlenecks.

  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Investigate failures and out-of-spec results.

  • Deviation & CAPA Support: Provide technical input for quality resolutions.

Supporting you through every phase of project execution.

  • Conceptual to Detailed Design: Collaborate with architects, MEP, and CQV teams.

  • Commissioning & Startup: Participate in FAT/SAT, walkdowns, and readiness.

  • SOP Development: Draft procedures tailored to your operations.

  • Training & Handoff: Assist with knowledge transfer and team readiness.
