Veolia Water Technologies has launched a new generation of its Orion skid mounted pharmaceutical purified water packages, which are compliant with FDA, cGMP and GAMP requirements and meets the water quality standards for USP and PhEur Purified Water and PhEur Highly Purified Water.
Orion produces compendial Purified Water through the process of softening, reverse osmosis and final CEDI polishing and the new range offers sustainability features.
As microbial control is paramount in any purified water treatment system, the new Orion retains its proven hot water sanitisation (HWS) system which covers the pretreatment softeners as well as the main treatment process.
Available in three models, the expanded range offers flow rates from 0.5 to 20m3/h. The C-Series Classic Orion provides the core technology within the most economic package, while the mid-range E-Series includes, as standard, environmental features such as a concentrate recycle pump to conserve water during periods of no demand. At the top of the range, the S-Series adds sustainability in the form of an integral recovery reverse osmosis unit, to minimise water and energy consumption, combined with long-term operating efficiencies.
The new Orion is equipped with an upgraded control system
The new Orion is equipped with an upgraded control system featuring a 15in TFT HMI with the options of Siemens or Allen Bradley PLCs, and a display of CO2, water and energy saved derived from sensors that use the latest Integrated Smart Module (ISM) systems.
Orion’s skid also has a new, cleaner look with the addition of plant status LEDs on each corner for easy operator monitoring.
As with all Veolia pharmaceutical systems, Orion is supplied with a validation pack and an after sales preventative maintenance contract, which can be fully customised.
As part of Veolia's enhanced service offering, Orion can now be linked to Vision, a private and secure web platform where users can gain instant access to all information related to their water treatment system, from service manuals and reports to contract renewals and booking an engineer.
The company has also developed Vision air, working on the same platform as Vision, which gives even more intelligent information and is a remote monitoring platform to access real time encrypted performance data including alarms and equipment status.
