Water meeting the standards of the US Pharmacopoeia must be produced from a supply meeting the EPA drinking water standards. Drinking water quality typically yields water that has been chemically treated with coagulants, chlorination or other substances, then filtered.
As such, many of the process steps employed to produce USP Purified Water are redundant or add little to no value in the effort to improve water quality. Examples include systems that use media filtration, chemical injections, cartridge filtrations and in some cases, reverse osmosis. Typically, these operations are employed to protect downstream equipment such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes or stills. In some cases, RO is used to reduce the bioburden on the downstream still.
MECO's MASTERpure system utilizes the efficiency of either a micro or ultrafiltration unit to eliminate some less valuable unit operations and substantially improve the water quality early in the water purification process. Because the micro/ultrafiltration units are chlorine tolerant and automatically backwashed on a regular interval, they are far less susceptible to fouling and easier to clean than traditional RO membranes.
As such, in systems where an RO is used to reduce biofouling to a still, the MECO MASTERpure technology provides an excellent alternative. Where RO is still required, the MASTERpure system can reduce improve the operation and maintenance of the system. It's perfect for tight spaces where traditional filtration for USP systems just won't fit. And it comes with MECO MASTERsupport and the MECO Water System Guarantee, a commitment you will only get from MECO.
