Water treatment for the Pharmaceutical sector

Drug Formulation: Water acts as a solvent in the production of liquid formulations, ensuring the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are evenly distributed.
Sterilisation Processes: Water is used in steam sterilizers (autoclaves) to sterilize equipment, containers, and instruments.
Cleaning and Rinsing: Purified water is essential for cleaning and rinsing equipment and containers to prevent contamination.
Analytical Testing: High-purity water is required for analytical procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.
Production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs): Water of high purity is crucial during the synthesis of APIs to prevent any impurities from affecting the chemical reactions.

Reverse Osmosis (RO): This process uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from water, effectively reducing contaminants.
Ultrafiltration (UF): UF membranes filter out bacteria, viruses, and colloids, ensuring microbial purity.
Deionisation (DI): This process removes ions from water by exchanging them with hydrogen and hydroxide ions, producing deionised water.
Distillation: This involves boiling water and then condensing the steam to produce high-purity distilled water, commonly used for Water for Injection (WFI).
Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection: UV light is used to inactivate microorganisms by disrupting their DNA, providing an additional layer of microbial control.
Ozonation: Ozone is used for its strong oxidizing properties to disinfect water and reduce organic contaminants.
