Multiple-effect water still for pharmaceutical applications
Optimize your pharmaceutical water production with a system that efficiently purifies input to create high-quality water for injection by utilizing advanced evaporation and condensation techniques.

Produces High-Quality Water for Injection
The Finn-Aqua T-Series Multiple-Effect Water Still from STERIS offers a reliable solution for producing high-quality water for injection pivotal in biopharmaceuticals and laboratory environments. Utilizing an enhanced falling film evaporation technology, this equipment ensures impurity reduction at high velocities through a staged evaporation and condensation process. It is ideal for applications such as the production of vaccines, injectable drugs, and laboratory reagents. The design employs plant steam and sequential column-driven heat transfer to optimize energy consumption. Its PLC controls simplify integration into automated systems, while the patented column construction ensures robust pyrogen separation and minimizes operational costs. Fully tested for customer-specific validation, it meets industry standards for pharmaceutical production, supporting clean and compliant operation.
