Hygienic and Accurate, Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Water for Injection
Water for injection (WFI) and pure water (PW) are critical components in the life sciences industry, particularly in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. It is highly purified water that must meet stringent quality standards. WFI is used in the formulation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), cleaning of equipment and containers, and as a solvent for the preparation of injectable solutions.
Monitoring WFI with flow measurements is essential to ensure both quality and compliance. Accurate flow measurement helps in maintaining the integrity of the water purification process, ensuring consistent production of high-quality WFI. It enables precise control over the flow rates, which is crucial for processes such as reverse osmosis, distillation, and ultrafiltration, and helps detect anomalies in the system.
WFI is also an expensive and energy intensive resource, so monitoring consumption is a must.
