TREATMENT CFS

To supply water treatment plants for labs, the supplier must have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the use of laboratory water because the fields of application vary as do the specific requirements for water quality and purity. In the main, only demineralized water is used. To a great extent, the choice of water treatment equipment depends on the pharmaceutical requirements as well as on validation and documentation. Most often, the water quality parameters are: desired conductivity (µS/cm), contents of organic matter, and contents of microorganisms.

Process water for labs is classified as:

All-purpose water (ASTM type 3, glass washing, dish washers, analyses, autoclaves)
Water for specific laboratory use (ASTM type 2, analyses, dish washers)
Ultrapure water for analyses and tests (ASTM type 1, analyses, pilot and upscaling projects)

High-purity demineralized water with low contents of organic matter and microorganisms for labs with large water consumption
For labs with large water consumption, TREATMENT offers a complete water treatment plant comprising a softening plant, a double-pass reverse osmosis plant (DPRO), EDI (electrodeionization), polisher with UPW ion exchangers, UV-disinfection, and sterile filters. To comply with the purity requirements of this type of laboratory water, the pipe system must have circulation and no dead legs. A double-pass reverse osmosis plant provides double security against penetration of germs and bacteria in accordance with the US pharmacopoeia. As an offspring, the conductivity will be significantly improved, typically to 1-3 µS/cm, the capacity of possible subsequent polishers will be greatly increased and they will be more efficient. Conductivity of laboratory water can be as low as 0.055 µS/cm or18 M?.

Pipe systems
TREATMENT offers pipe systems of all the known standard materials (PVC, PP, PVDF, AISI 316L stainless steel). We are therefore able to meet the requirements of most labs.

Validation
All TREATMENT water treatment plants come with standard validation program and standard documentation. We will, however, provide you with just the documentation you need.

Experience and commitment
TREATMENT has acquired great experience with water treatment for labs and we will supply you with complete solutions covering exactly your needs. Our experienced sales engineers will provide you with consultancy, dimensioning, documentation as well as plant installation.
