Watson-Marlow launches new biopharmaceutical fluid management solutions

Published: 26-Sep-2024

Watson-Marlow has launched Qdos H-FLO chemical metering and dosing pump for higher flow rates and WMArchitectTM single-use solutions

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has added Qdos (Trademarked) H-FLO  and WMArchitect (trademarked) to its range.

The Singapore-based manufacturer of peristaltic pump and associated fluid path technologies for process industries and life sciences, launched these products to offer a wide range of biopharmaceutical fluid management innovations.

The purpose of WMArchitect is to help engineers and system designers streamline the planning and implementation process of fluid handling systems by providing detailed guidance, documentation, and compatibility information

Qdos H-FLO is a chemical metering and dosing pump for higher flow rates and WMArchitect (trademarked) is a software platform that facilitates the design and configuration of its pump systems.

The purpose of WMArchitect is to help engineers and system designers streamline the planning and implementation process of fluid handling systems by providing detailed guidance, documentation, and compatibility information.

Qdos H-FLO

The recent launch of Qdos H-FLO features up to 600 L/h and pressure capability up to 7 bar (102 psi), making chemical dosing simpler and cost-effective and serves a wide variety of applications and industries, such as water and wastewater treatment, mining, and mineral processing, chemical applications in food and beverage or pulp and paper. 

With higher flow rates combined with a variety of pumpheads to ensure chemical compatibility with the process fluid, the Qdos H-FLO high-precision pump offers flexibility to be scalable with a customer's process.

Qdos H-FLO also cuts costs through higher precision chemical metering, with an accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5% in dosing.

This new chemical metering and dosing pump was designed for the following applications:

  • Disinfectants
  • Coagulants
  • Flocculants
  • Acids/alkalis
  • Mining reagents and surfactants

Qdos H-FLO is supported with an optional pressure sensing kit that provides real-time pressure monitoring, which ensures process security and improves safety. 

The optional pressure sensing kit comes with configurable alarms for process monitoring and is compatible with commonly used chemicals in process industries.

WMArchitect

To streamline the process, safeguard products, and reduce regulatory burden for biopharmaceutical companies, the new range of WMArchitect single-use solutions is designed to offer both standard, ready-to-use single-use assemblies as well as customised designs with an open architecture approach. 

WMArchitect is a new end-to-end, single-use fluid path management solution consisting of customised designs - single-use assemblies, single-use fluid transfer assemblies, fill/finish single-use assemblies, and validation testing.

All WMArchitect single-use solutions are manufactured, pre-assembled, and packaged at WMFTS' global network of state-of-the-art Class 7 cleanrooms. 

To ensure easy deployment and meet the requirements set by current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines, lot traceability of each component can be made available as part of its detailed documentation.
