Aqua-Chem’s vapor compression distillers efficiently produce reliable, high-purity Water for Injection for critical life science (pharma, biopharma, animal) use.
BioPharm Vapor Compression
- Vapor Compression Distillers produce consistent, reliable, high-purity Water for Injection (WFI) for parenteral solutions, cell culture growth, vaccines and other critical applications.
- Aqua-Chem manufactures a variety of standard models of Vapor Compression Distillers for the pharmaceutical industry. Aqua-Chem’s
horizontal spray film design is designed to recycle latent heat energy, which makes our distillers more energy efficient. The basis of our innovative design delivers reduced energy consumption and has less stringent feedwater requirements when compared to other distillation processes like multiple-effect systems, making Aqua-Chem Vapor Compression Distillers a popular and sustainable choice for water purification.
- All components are accessible from floor-level, with the compressor and pump convenient located at the edge of the skid for easy serviceability. Aqua-Chem utilizes low-speed compressor technology, which results in cooler bearing temperatures and means less downtime for expensive motor repair and replacement. Our standard validation package is specifically designed to help your team with commissioning activities.
CAPACITY: 250 gph up to 9000 gph
SYSTEMS: 4 Standard BioPharm units, custom units available.
Pure Steam Generators
Carbon Towers
TORRENT™ Ambient WFI/PW
Features
- Standard materials used are 316L stainless steel and product contact surfaces are 15-25 RA finish
- Sanitary valves, instruments, pumps and piping
Operation is fully automatic requiring minimal operator input - Deaerator removes carbon dioxide, oxygen and other noncondensable gases from the feedwater and distillate
- Small overall dimensions allow unit to be shipped in standard shipping containers & fit through standard industrial building hallways and doorways
Benefits
- Aqua-Chem patented Spray-Film® vapor compression distillation units produce consistent, reliable, high-purity water regardless of feedwater quality fluctuations.
- Distillation is the only process that removes all known viruses or bacteria 100 percent of the time.
- The Aqua-Chem patented Spray-Film® evaporator design provides improved wetting of the tube bundle and reduced scaling. This means less downtime for cleaning and reduced blowdown for less water waste.
