Optimized Dual ASTM Water System for Therapeutics Facility Expansion

PPT connected Type II generation to a Type IA water skid, reducing duplicate treatment equipment for a therapeutics facility expansion.

Installed water purification equipment with treatment vessels, controls and piping

Project overview

A therapeutics customer building a new facility required both ASTM Type IA and ASTM Type II water streams in the facility. This was a critical expansion as they were consolidating operations and had a tight timeline.

The challenge

Providing two separate streams of Pure Water without overbuilding a system that would be costly and cumbersome to maintain. System design is very different for both types of systems requiring careful consideration.

The engineering approach

PPT worked with the project engineer to identify that using the ASTM Type II skid as a feed to the Type IA skid reduced unnecessary redundancy with RO make-up, streamlined operational efficiency and brought service costs in line with expectations.

Project outcome

The solution proved to be exceptional regarding performance as the Type IA Skid produces TOC’s in the low (2ppb) single digit range while generating 18.2 Meg/ohm water. The Type II Skid also delivers water well within specification which makes easy work for the Type 1A Skid.
