Brief on Purified water system

Choosing a purified water system for a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant is no easy task. Manufacturers need to ensure that the water system is upto the quality standard requirements. They also need to make sure that the water system is as per their requirements in terms of production and productivity. When choosing a purified water system, their top concern is total organic contamination or TOC.

 

 TOC testing a key part of testing of the efficacy of any purified water system. The United States Pharmacopeia or the USP sets the standards for pure water systems used in pharmaceutical manufacturing industries. However, there are some design flaws that manufacturers fall into and this eventually impacts the quality of water generated from the pure water plant. The most common mistake is using non-passivated stainless steel for piping systems.

 

As important as it is to design and manufacture the best water purification system, it is important to use the right materials for storage and distribution systems. Defects in the piping systems can cause contaminants to enter the water system.
