Health care and laboratories
In healthcare institutions and laboratories, where clean and high-quality water is of utmost importance for various analyses, testing and medical procedures, various water treatment technologies are used to ensure high water quality.
Here are some of the most common technologies used:
REVERSE OSMOSIS
Reverse or reversible osmosis is a membrane technology that uses a membrane to remove various contaminants, including salts, microorganisms, heavy metals and other impurities. It is an effective method for purifying water and ensuring a low content of particles and salts.
DEIONIZATION (DI)
Deionization is a process by which ionic substances are removed from water, resulting in highly purified water without ions. It is useful for laboratory applications where high purity water is required, without the presence of ions that could affect the analysis.
ULTRAFILTRATION (UF)
Ultrafiltration uses a membrane to filter water to remove particles, bacteria and larger molecules. It is useful for removing microorganisms and impurities that could affect laboratory procedures.
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (AC)
Activated carbon is used to adsorption of organic substances, chemicals and other impurities from water. This technology helps to eliminate odors, flavors and various organic contaminants.
UV disinfection
UV light is used to disinfect water by destroying microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. This technology is useful for ensuring microbiologically clean water.
OZONIZATION
Ozone is used to disinfect and oxidize water. This technology effectively removes microorganisms and impurities and helps in the oxidation of organic matter.
DEMINERALIZATION IEX
The demineralization process removes minerals from the water, which is important for achieving the high purity of the water needed for laboratory analysis.
Each technology has its advantages and applications, depending on the specific needs of laboratories or health institutions.
The combination of different technologies can be customized to achieve optimal water quality for different applications.
