RELIABLE CONCEPTS FOR
COLD WFI PRODUCTION
As well as producing WFI by distillation, we also offer units that produce WFI using membrane processes: This system has a reverse osmosis membrane stage with downstream electrodeionisation and ultrafiltration.
Sophisticated concepts: with additional qualification measures
To ensure microbial quality, the design of our system reduces detrimental influences from the outset, while integrating numerous precautions to prevent microbial growth:
• One or two UV units with different wavelengths: 254 nm to reduce microorganisms, 185 nm to reduce organic matter.
• A high flow rate ensures there is no stagnant water, even when the system is in stand-by.
• A minimum number of detachable connections are an integral feature of a well-thought-out and robust, hygienic design.
• The entire system is made of high quality AISI 316L stainless steel
• Ozone resistant ceramic modules are generally used for ultrafiltration in a patented procedure. This not only ensures that the ultrafiltration can undergo chemical sanitisation in addition to thermal sanitisation, but can also route the ozone generated right into the pre-treatment unit, thus actively preventing contamination at the feed water inlet. Alternatively, we use tried and trusted hollow fibre modules as used in countless established applications with highly purified water.
• We offer our customers various fully automatic sanitisation concepts that meet EMA requirements.
