Model description
-
To reach the most reliable pure water quality, Elix® High-Throughput systems are built on an optimized purification sequence:
Tap water first enters the Progard® pretreatment cartridge which efficiently removes particles & colloids, free chlorine and hardness before reverse osmosis (RO) purification. Elix® systems benefit from advanced RO technology and E.R.A.™ technology, which controls water consumption, and ensures a constant product flow rate and optimal water quality. All prolong the lifetime of the RO membrane and downstream purification technologies. Depending on daily volume needs, Elix® High-Throughput systems are available in a range of production flow rates (40, 80, 120 or 150 L/h).
The patented Elix® module further removes ions to typically reach >5 MΩ cm (at 25°C) resistivity. All Elix® systems are equipped with the best-in-class Elix®electrodeionization technology. It provides:- Superior and consistent Type 2 water quality – “Superior,” as resin beads are not degraded by exposure to harsh regeneration chemicals. “Consistent,” as the continuous regeneration avoids the drawbacks of quality variations from resin exhaustion.
- Cost & labor savings – The Elix® module contains special carbon beads at its cathode and therefore, does not require water softening. Its self-regeneration technology avoids the hassle and costs of DI cartridge replacement. Elix® is “green,” consuming low energy with a small carbon footprint.
- Long-lasting technology – thanks to its proven design, the module continuously regenerates its resin beads without the need for any maintenance.
Elix® pure water is irradiated by a bactericidal UV lamp before entering the storage tank, or SDS 500 (Storage and Distribution System). The reservoir design maintains consistent purity of stored water. The vent filter provides effective protection against airborne contaminants and the ASM, Automatic Sanitization Module, prevents biofilm formation. Elix® water can then be sent by a distribution pump to feed instruments or a distribution loop. They can be integrated into a centralized system, providing total control of all parameters within the system itself as well as within the external pure water distribution loop.
Elix® High-Throughput systems are designed to produce up to 9000 L/day of Type 2 water from potable tap feed water to meet or exceed the relevant standards defined by ISO® 3696 / BS 3997 the European and US Pharmacopoeia, and other international bodies.
