Biopharm Company Installs CDI® System to Improve Quality of USP Purified Water

A veterinary pharmaceutical firm in the Midwest upgraded a USP Purified Water system that was not consistently producing water of adequate quality – both conductivity and microbial. The customer did not want to use chemicals to regenerate ion exchange beds and is located far from any service deionization facilities.

Biotech Firm Finds Reverse Osmosis Preferable to Distillation for Production of Water for Injection

A Biotech firm on the West Coast has found that certain cell cultures fare poorly in distilled water, yet thrive in reverse osmosis water. Another requirement is to optimize water conservation. Siemens Water Technologies engineered a novel design, including reverse osmosis, service deionization, and a second pass reverse osmosis.

Healthcare Manufacturer Expands Production Without Increasing Water Needs, Discharge Requirements

Siemens Water Technologies Helps Healthcare Manufacturer Expand Production Without Increasing Water Needs, Discharge Requirements

Medical Device Manufacturer Expands Production, Reduces Water Consumption

A U.S. medical device manufacturer wanted to expand production capacity without exceeding discharge limits that could result in crippling financial penalties. They also wanted to drastically reduce raw water requirements and waste disposal costs. The plant was producing a 375-gallon-per-minute (gpm) waste stream that contained organic and inorganic manufacturing byproducts.

Novocol Pharmaceutical Chooses PreVUE® System to Produce USP Purified Water

Novocol Pharmaceutical of Canada needed a new water system for a plant expansion, since they were increasing production of a dental anesthetic, and required an additional 13 gallons per minute of water. The system had to be of a cGMP design and meet USP quality requirements.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Sterling Organics Uses Zimpro® Wet Air Oxidation to Achieve Treatment Goals

In early 1990, ministers of the European countries on the North Sea declared that ocean disposal of industrial wastes should cease by the end of 1992. To comply with the mandate, the Sterling Organics' facility at Dudley, Northumberland, England, had to investigate treatment of a high-strength, highly colored para-aminophenol (PAP) wastewater generated in the production of the pain reliever Paracetamol.

Siemens Water Technologies Provides Total Turnkey USP Purified Water System Expansion for Major Pharmaceutical Manufacturer

A major pharmaceutical manufacturer needed to expand a USP Purified Water distribution system with proper change control and validation procedures. The expansion had to be implemented with minimal system downtime. Siemens Water Technologies implemented the system expansion on a total turnkey basis including engineering services.

Siemens Water Technologies Solves Healthcare Manufacturer’s Environmental, Cost Challenges

A large healthcare products manufacturer in the U.S. needed a sustainable solution to excessive costs associated with municipal discharge and cooling tower operation. Their existing purified water system produced a nearly continuous waste stream, and continually recirculated the water even when purified water was not needed.

Synthetech, Inc., Uses PACT® System to Treat Complex Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Newly mandated pharmaceutical pretreatment standards imposed by the USEPA and adopted by the city of Albany, Ore., and properties of a complex pharmaceutical wastewater led Synthetech, Inc., to install a wastewater treatment system from Siemens Water Technologies.
