Christ presents its new Osmotron generation

Published: 21-May-2009

Specialist water technology group Christ has completely modernised its skid-mounted unit for the production of pharmaceutical water. The new Osmotron Pro has a functional design and features high energy-efficiency as well as an ergonomic construction combined with easy maintenance.

Eight single valves have been replaced by new block valves to improve the flow and emptying process of the components, and thus significantly lower documentation and validation load. Highest microbiological safety is ensured by intelligent and simplified process flow with the shortest distance between water in- and outlet.

All quality relevant sampling points are integrated on a central panel, and the Windows-based Liprocontrol software automatically adjusts the operations to fluctuations of the feedwater quality to make sure that the system works fully automatically also in changing conditions.

Osmotron Pro combines the processes of softening, reverse osmosis and final demineralisation via the patented Septron-EDI module. The standardised, prefabricated stainless-steel skid ensures shorter lead times. Each system is additionally pre-qualified before shipment and undergoes a fully functional FAT test in presence of the customer.

With the optional concentrate processing stage total recovery can be increased to 90%. A new modern hardness measurement without the use of indicators enables fully automatic adjustment of softener cycles to the specific raw water hardness. Depending on the feedwater quality this allows savings of 15–30% of salt and wastewater.

Christ has also developed a new modular sampling system for pure steam, aimed at the pharmaceutical sector. The Vapotest sample cooler allows the temperature to be set in both manual and automatic mode, and comes in various options depending on the application needs. Its compact construction and a standard integrated sampling valve make the module applicable in devices other than just Christ Vapotron. It can easily be fitted as a component of facilities of other brands or connected to the existing pure steam network.

Manual sampling is carried out at the average ergonomic height, next to the evaporator column. This increases application convenience and at the same time reduces contamination risk. Temperature control additionally protects the operating personnel from scalding.
