Puretech’s Vapour Compression Distiller (VCD) is manufactured according to the international cGMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and Pharmacopoeias. A vapour compression still can potentially work with any feed water; furthermore, customised systems with pre-treatment integrated on the same skid with reverse osmosis and the ability to be electrically heated and steam heated are all standard options.
Puretech’s “thermocompression” still can produce both cold distillate or hot distillate with huge savings on energy costs, when compared to MED, with no need for cooling water. Whether electrically heated or plant steam heated capacities range from 20 to 20,000 l/hr with one or more blowers.
Low energy consumption
No need of cooling water to condensate the pure steam
No need for high quality inlet water (in some cases even softened water can feed the VCD)
No need to pressurise the inlet water
WFI outflow at high pressure (1–1.5 bar) without an additional pump requirement
Safe process, with no risk of any cross contamination through plant steam or inlet water
Highest flexibility in terms of capacities and WFI temperatures
Reduced Maintenance
As with all of our distillation systems, the VCD is made in certified AISI 316L stainless steel and all internal parts in contact with the feed water, Pure Steam and the Distillate, are mirror-polished. All hydraulic connections are sanitary tri-clamp or flange connections and gaskets are made from PTFE.
A fully automated Siemens®, Rockwell®, SCADA system, ensures easy operation and complete monitoring of critical parameters. Password restricted access and access history can be managed according to 21 CFR PART 11.
