Introducing our new and novel, patented piping design...

...meeting all needs of compendial pharmaceutical water systems and other high purity fluid applications

In the past 25 years or so, there have been very few innovations or major technological developments in pharmaceutical water systems, the notable exception being the introduction of electrodeionisation (EDI) as a water purification technology, which occurred around ten to fifteen years ago.

In terms of high purity water storage and distribution piping technology, there has been little or no innovation at all. Most system designers still struggle with compromise, for example, of hydraulic flow design to the point where even some offtake taps cannot be used when others are open without major consequences and contamination potential.

Time and time again we see such system design inadequacies and worse, compromised manufacturing activities and process disruption during our system audits. We find many pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are seriously limited by the inadequacies in design of their vital water systems.

As for the water system installations themselves, the constructional use of in-situ Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded stainless steel and the rigorous installation, inspection and qualification procedures can mean weeks or months of downtime, not to mention the inherent resource effort and cost.

We are rewriting the system design books with the introduction of our new and novel, patented piping design called HydroGienic^®.

The aim and objective of HydroGienic^® is simple. We expect pharmaceutical manufacturers to be able to use their Purified Water and Water for Injection systems with confidence, with taps in any configuration, and at any time they require, as demanded by their manufacturing processing operations.

We expect a simple, cost effective installation with minimum facility disruption and down time, and we expect users to be able to add new offtakes or remove old ones without having to close down the system.

We believe that a high purity water system should serve the manufacturing process - not the other way around.
