Application context
Define the real duty before selecting equipment.
Medical and biotech facilities may need separate water duties for production support, equipment cleaning and laboratory work. The approved quality basis and validation responsibility must be defined before equipment selection.
Capacity basis
Production, laboratory and cleaning demand
Water challenge
Conditions that control the process.
Ionic, organic, particle and microbial loads that can affect process consistency, cleaning and analytical work.
Target water use and quality
Set the objective at the point of use.
A facility-approved target at each point of use, including monitoring and sanitization requirements where applicable.
Typical treatment train
- 01Feed-water pretreatment
- 02Double-pass RO when lower ionic load is required
- 03Optional EDI, UV, terminal filtration, storage and distribution as specified
Main equipment and components
- Stainless pretreatment vessels
- RO membrane stages
- Controls, instruments and storage interface
Configurable options
- Sanitizable piping and storage
- Duty/standby generation
- EDI, UV or terminal filtration when required
Utilities and operating assumptions
- Stable electrical supply and feed pressure
- Drain and concentrate route
- Cleaning and sanitization access
Required customer inputs
- Approved water-quality basis
- Use-point flow profile
- Validation, documentation and material requirements
