Hydrolab water purification system Technical series
The compact Technical series offers laboratories and industrial facilities reliable, fully automatic treatment of tap water. Thanks to high retention rates of 96 to 99 %, it is predestined for applications where constant water quality in the third class is required. Compared to the [Sartorius Arium Basic], this series impresses with an extremely low-maintenance design and a comprehensive control system that monitors every step of the purification process. So if you are looking for a safe, standard-compliant solution (PN-EN ISO 3696:1999, ASTM, CLSI) with high efficiency, this is a sustainable choice for everyday laboratory work.
Versatile cleaning performance for professional use
The Technical series from Hydrolab is characterized by its modular design and the flexible use of different filter sets. The integrated components enable very pure water to be obtained for various analysis and cleaning purposes. Large volumes of up to 60 liters per hour can be treated, especially in busy laboratories, for example in pharmaceutical development, biochemistry or microbiological facilities. The system is designed so that it can be easily connected to existing structures, for example to centrally supply glass washing machines, autoclaves or environmental chambers. If required, it is also possible to supply several laboratories via appropriate piping.
The high degree of automation ensures continuous monitoring of the most important parameters. Pressure, flow rate and conductivity are constantly monitored so that the condition of the membranes and cartridges can be checked in good time and maintenance intervals can be planned effectively. At the same time, this noticeably reduces the workload on laboratory staff, as time-consuming manual sample checks are significantly reduced. In addition, a UV lamp can be integrated into the system to further reduce the microbial content and keep the bacteria level below 1 CFU/ml.To facilitate use in many industries, the product is supplied with a 10-liter tank for the treated water as standard. Also included are all the important connections (supply and waste water connection) and the matching filter set. This means that the device can be put into operation immediately after installation, without the need to purchase additional accessories.
Technical highlights at a glance
- Powered by normal tap water for optimum efficiency
- Retention rate of 96-99 % of dissolved substances and microorganisms
- Water output of 1-2 liters per minute (depending on model)
- Total output per hour: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 60 l/h
- Optional integrated UV lamp for bacteria reduction to below 1 CFU/ml
- Compact dimensions from 235×440×510 mm to 270×470×570 mm, depending on the model
- Extended filter options such as 5 μm pre-filter, A2 module and GAC'' cartridges depending on the area of application
The additional markings /C or the higher performance class on the models each represent an adjustment to the filtration or an increased throughput rate. What matters, however, is the consistent reliability and stable water quality, which are essential for sensitive applications in the laboratory, in the production of reagents or in quality management.
Concrete applications
- Loading dishwashers for laboratory glassware cleaning, where residue-free water is particularly important
- Preparation of samples in environmental and food analysis to prevent adulteration by unwanted ions or microorganisms
- Supply of autoclaves in microbiological laboratories with demineralized water to maintain a consistent sterile condition.
- Use in analysis devices (e.g. spectrometers, photometers) to increase measurement accuracy and device service life.
- Supply of climate chambers, environmental chambers and incubators to minimize fluctuations in humidity and maintain a sterile environment
FAQs
How often do filters and cartridges need to be changed?
This depends heavily on the water quality at the location and the intensity of use. As a rule, the control systems and the conductivity meter provide an indication as soon as a change is advisable.
Can several devices be supplied with water at the same time?
Yes. With appropriate pipe routing, it is possible to operate several consumers - whether dishwashers, autoclaves or laboratory analysis devices - from a central location.
Does the system have an automatic rinsing function?
The Technical series offers an automatic rinsing function on many models, which reduces deposits on the membranes. This contributes significantly to the service life of the system components and ensures consistently high water quality.
Conclusion
The Technical series is a powerful, scalable and cost-effective solution for laboratories and industry in the long term. Thanks to its robust design, automated processes and clear measurement and control system, maintenance costs remain manageable, while a high level of purity is consistently maintained. Users benefit from a supply of high-quality pure water in line with internationally recognized standards, without having to sacrifice flexibility and easy integration into existing laboratory systems.
