Centralized water purification system for laboratories
Ensure consistent purity and reliability for your laboratory processes with a centralized system, streamlining water distribution while optimizing space and reducing maintenance overhead.

Purifies and Distributes High-Volume Laboratory Water
The CENTRA R60/120 from ELGA LabWater is a comprehensive centralized water purification and distribution system designed to meet the demanding water quality needs of various laboratory and industrial environments. This system uniquely integrates purification processes such as reverse osmosis, UV oxidation, and deionization to deliver up to 120 liters per hour of Type II and III water, critical for applications like atomic absorption spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography. The compact design facilitates seamless integration into existing facilities, addressing the challenges of long pipework with its small footprint and flexible installation options.
Engineered for continuous, high-volume operation, the system incorporates advanced automation with full alarm capabilities and optional building management system connectivity, ensuring consistent water purity. Energy efficiency is enhanced through optimized process controls, while in-line UV treatment and 0.2 μm filtration maintain stringent microbial and particulate standards. Ideal for clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical production, and research environments, the CENTRA R60/120 is scalable and adaptable, supporting a wide range of consumable options to match specific water purity requirements. For maintenance ease, it features fast sanitization and monitoring systems, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
