USP purified water for Laboratorio Megaecuafarma
We designed, supplied, installed, automated and commissioned an ultrafiltration, double-pass reverse osmosis, UV disinfection and continuous recirculation system that produces purified water in accordance with the USP and WHO Technical Report 37.
- ClientMegaecuafarma Natural S.A.S.
- Year2025
- IndustryPharmaceutical
- ScopeTurnkey project
2,000 L tank with UV on the LOOPUSP purified water
USP purified water every day, without stagnation
Megaecuafarma manufactures pharmaceutical and natural products. It needed to produce, from drinking water, purified water that strictly meets USP parameters, with traceability, continuous disinfection and online monitoring.
- USP qualityConductivity below 1.3 µS/cm, TOC below 500 ppb and pH between 5.00 and 7.00.
- Continuous flow13 m³/day of double-pass reverse osmosis permeate.
- TraceabilityLogging of critical parameters for quality assurance and GMP audits.
Purified water never stands stillcontinuous recirculation loop (LOOP)
Recirculation keeps the water moving to every point of use. Online sensors log critical parameters for quality assurance and GMP audits.
- 44 m³/dayultrafiltration
- 13 m³/daydouble-pass reverse osmosis
- 2,000 litersstainless steel tank
- < 1.3 µS/cmguaranteed conductivity
Treatment train: from drinking water to the point of use
Seven stages, from initial disinfection to a distribution loop that never lets the water stand still.
- Chlorination and ORPInline sodium hypochlorite with digital pump and automatic ORP monitoring for initial disinfection.Online ORP
- Sediment filtrationTurbiMax 101 aluminosilicate media that retains particles and suspended solids.Larger than 5 µm
- SofteningSaniExchange +Na cation resin that removes calcium and magnesium to protect the membranes.Hardness removed
- UltrafiltrationPhysical barrier that retains solids, colloids, bacteria and viruses.0.03 µm, 44 m³/day
- Double-pass reverse osmosisPharmaceutical-grade purification that reduces conductivity and total dissolved solids.13 m³/day, < 1.3 µS/cm
- UV disinfectionUltraviolet light that destroys microorganisms, reduces TOC and prevents biofouling.TOC control
- Continuous recirculation (LOOP)Closed loop with constant, turbulent flow to the points of use.2,000 L tank
Automation and control
- Stainless steel control panel with Siemens PLC and 7″ HMI touch screen.
- Online pH, ORP and electrical conductivity sensors at several points in the process.
- Flow, pressure and level sensors, with an automated alarm system.
- 316L sanitary valves
- Clamp connections
- Stainless steel skid
- Sanitary piping
Turnkey, from design to training
Sanitron designed, supplied, installed, automated and commissioned the complete system, with stabilization and qualified technical support.
