Christ optimises water use
In pure water systems, the correct dimensioning of the distribution system and the pump ensures that all consumers receive sufficient quantities of the medium. Problems can occur if too many points-of-use valves are opened simultaneously, resulting in a partial vacuum in the system. If air enters the system, operation to GMP guidelines can no longer be ensured.
Christ’s new software, Liprocontrol, enables comprehensive management of the points-of-use. It permits the control and documentation of all accesses to the distribution system and thus a complete audit trail, and allows the current operating status of the water treatment system and of the process systems to be displayed graphically at any time.
The software can, for example, be integrated into a compact media column made of stainless steel, together with the necessary T-valves to permit the consumption of, for example, Purified Water (PW) and the extraction of samples in accordance with the GMP guidelines. The touch panel permits preselection of the amount of medium to be drawn and of the desired temperature.
Liprocontrol can be linked to a higher-level control system, such as WinCC, and thus controls the availability of the points-of-use and records all related data.
