Storage and Distribution
Storage and Distribution
Praj Hipurity Systems Limited specializes in designing the storage & distribution system which preserves the water quality as received at the outlet of EDI or a WFI generation until it is drawn from point of use. Our in house tank fabrication facility, electro-polishing facility, use of tubes & fittings with complete traceability are the pillars which help us deliver the quality product.
Applications
These days our customers are preferring potable water loops to be designed in alignment with purified water or water for injection configurations.
- Potable Water
- Purified Water
- Water For Injection
Key aspects considered in design and component selection
- Optimal balance of tank capacities and tank turnover
- Line Size & Pump flow selection – with peak load analysis & load pattern, total consumption, return line velocity maintained as per USP guidelines
- The system should not give away any of its material of construction to PW or WFI
- Zero Stagnation
- 100 % drainability
- Design of Sanitization to cover each and every area in the system
- Minimal Deadleg (generally <2D)
- All joints either sanitary tri-clover or orbitally welded. Use of Borescope/Videoscopy or Radiography as per clients’ acceptance criteria.
Purified & WFI Storage & distribution systems comprise of following
Storage Tank
Stainless steel construction SS316L with electro-polishing and surface finish ranging from 0.6 to 0.38 Ra depending on the end application. Tanks are designed with plain of jacketed construction
Recirculation System
Cold, Warm & Hot Standby with auto changeover of pumps becoming more prevalent in 24 x 7 operating plants
Distribution Piping
Specialized tubes and fittings with ASTM A270 SS316L or ASME BPE Stamped material, Electro-polished to finish ranging 0.5 Ra to 0.38 Ra
Point of Use Valves
