Water is the key ingredient used in the research, development, and manufacturing of pharmaceutical and biotech products. The efficient management of ultrapure water and highly complex wastewater is essential to public health and regulatory requirements.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, different grades of process water are used. These range from potable water for the initial rinsing of equipment, to pure water for purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients and preparation of nonsterile final dosage forms, to ultrapure water for sterile manufacturing of products such as vaccines. Efficient management of ultrapure water to ensure sterile conditions is of paramount importance.
