The present invention relates to a transportable, containerized, modular and expandable blood facility, namely a blood collection, blood processing and/or spray drying facility. The inventive self-contained portable plasma facility can be transported anywhere in the world and set up to provide a life-saving plasma product. The facility and associated spray drying equipment can be transported by helicopter, plane, truck, train or ship. Once set up, the facility can make spray dried plasma on demand, stored in various temperatures and can be ready for transfusion in just minutes after hydration. The inventive blood processing facility for housing a spray drying system includes the spray drying disposable device and, spray drying apparatus, and/or finishing apparatus. The facility further includes an electrical package, a Clean Dry Air (CDA) package to provide clean dry air to the facility, and an exhaust package to remove humid air generated by the spray drying apparatus.
