Project experience / Testing-laboratory glassware cleaning

Testing-Laboratory Water Reference Configuration

A third-party laboratory performing food and environmental testing needed to reduce tap-water residues on cleaned glassware. The treatment system uses pretreatment, double-pass RO, EDI and treated-water storage to support this laboratory cleaning duty.

Pretreatment vessels, pumps, control panel, membrane housings and process piping

Application context

Use this project experience to prepare your requirements.

For a similar application, start with your water analysis, required output and quality at the point of use. These inputs determine the equipment scope, storage, controls and acceptance criteria for your proposal.

Feed-water source

Municipal tap water

Capacity basis

Glassware-cleaning demand and laboratory operating schedule

Water challenge

Conditions that control the process.

Mineral ions, particles and organic residues on glassware that could contaminate samples and interfere with test results.

Target water use and quality

Set the objective at the point of use.

High-purity rinse water selected for laboratory glassware cleaning and the intended analytical work.
