Shields the sensitive downstream purification components from large particulates, hardness, and oxidants present in incoming raw water.
Safeguards the sensitive Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes from physical abrasion or clogging caused by residual suspended particles.
Strips out up to 99% of dissolved salts, organics, and microorganisms by pushing water to be treated through semi-permeable membranes using high pressure.
Disinfects the permeate by emitting ultraviolet light to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms and viruses without the addition of external chemicals.
Holds treated, compliant potable water in a steel tank vessel to store and supply for industrial consumption needs.
Supplies potable water to processing units, utility stations, or auxiliary treatment loops at regulated pressure and flow.
Complete DQ/IQ/OQ validation package along with supporting documentation followed by protocol execution support.
Designed to meet current USP/BP/EU pharmacopoeia standards and WHO / cGMP requirements.

Typical water treatment technologies applied to produce potable water from raw or bore well source include microbial disinfection followed by multigrade sand filter, softener, Ultrafiltration and a Reverse osmosis (RO) System using brackish water Membranes.
Potable water is generally used in manufacturing of some API products and for pre-rinse activity after production completion and product changeover.The conductivity / TDS limits for Potable water is much higher in comparison to Purified water and Water for injection. For other pharmaceutical applications purified water is generally used for the final washing requirement. Water for injection (WFI) is used for any production of injectable related products.
There are various disinfection options available for production for potable water systems. This include Chlorination, Ozonation, Ultra violet (UV), Chlorine dioxide, Hydrogen peroxide, etc. The method to be chosen shall depend widely on the microbial load of the feed water. Another parameter to consider if the feed water is present with pathogens like pseudomonas aeruginosa and E Coli, in such cases a stronger disinfection method like ozonation need to be selected or two disinfectant systems may need to be used in the whole system to cater to the pathogens in feed water. It should be noted that the disinfection system should be Automated so that there is sufficient dosage at all times.
Potable water once generated can be stored in a multi layer HDPE Tank, FRP tank or Stainless steel tank and then used for distribution, Traditionally the distribution piping were installed in a Header and user drops type layout, but this type of installation layout leads to high microbial growths overtime. Hence its recommended to install the potable water distribution system in a loop system layout to maintain continuous circulation within the piping and also have the means to perform heat sanitization / Chemical sanitization at regular timelines.
For a potable-water system used in a GMP facility, qualification typically follows a documented, risk-based approach:
WHO specifically recommends DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ and documented commissioning/qualification for pharmaceutical water systems.
Yes, most pharmaceutical companies install and qualify a Potable water system which is then also used as feed to a Purified (RO-EDI) plant to produce purified water. This concept reduces capex and opex costs, lower energy utilization, manpower optimization and smaller equipment footprint.
