The different processes have varying purification rates and for ultra-pure water, several purification processes can be deployed. Underneath we discuss the three most commonly used purification processes in purified water systems in the pharma industry.

Ion Exchange.

Ion exchange simply involves the alienation of unwanted ions and the subsequent replacement of those ions with desired ions. Essentially, ion exchange seeks to substitute calcium and magnesium ions with sodium thereby mitigating scaling. Ion exchange is commonly used to soften hard water and eradicate metals from water.

Distillation.

Pharmaceutical water systems can alternatively utilize distillation to eradicate dissolved solids from feed water.  Distillation operates on similar principles to the natural rain formation process. The water is heated to the point of evaporation, the resulting vapor is condensed and collected in separate jars as fresh potable water while the dissolved solids are discarded as waste.

Reverse Osmosis.

Using filters and semi-permeable membranes, reverse osmosis manages to remove both large constituents and smaller particles like dissolved salts. Using high pressure, the ordinary osmotic flow is distorted thus prompting the flow of water from the highly concentrated side to the less concentrated one. Frequent cleaning of RO pharmaceutical water systems is mandatory to mitigate microbial fouling.

➣Which Contaminants are Eradicated by Pharmaceutical Water Equipments?

Pharmaceutical water varies in quality depending on the imminent application. For high-grade pharmaceutical water meant for use in injections or as excipients and diluents, it is mandatory that a huge chunk of contaminants and other substances are ejected.

The pharmaceutical water equipment and packaging containers of the treated water also necessitate frequent cleaning and sterilization to thwart microbial contamination. Purification techniques utilized in purified water generation systems in the pharmaceutical industry are responsible for eradicating:

● Bacteria, viruses, and pathogens.
● Chemicals and dissolved solids.
● Metals.
● Microorganisms.
