Food industry
Membrane applications in the food industry are as vast and diverse as the industry itself. These applications can involve water that is used as an ingredient in a preparation, for system cleaning or for producing steam. Membrane-based techniques can be used for the demineralization, purification or concentration of a process solution. Protection at the plant’s inlet Servicing or maintenance on drinking water networks can pollute the network with sludge, so the supply line must be protected as soon as it […]
Energy
In its vapor or liquid state, water is the most widely used heat transfer medium in industry owing to its easy access and interesting thermal properties (high heat capacity and latent heat of vaporization). Water quality is of utmost importance whether it is used to transfer heat, for heating or cooling, or used in turbines to produce electricity. Without treatment, it causes fouling, scaling or corrosion in thermal systems and thus reduces the energy performance and the overall good operation […]
Pharmaceuticals & cosmetics
Water produced for the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry must comply with stringent regulations. Regulatory texts: European Directives on the quality of water intended for human consumption and national implementation decrees Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Pharmacopoeias (European – American – Japanese) EMEA, PICS/S, Annex 15 (qualification and validation) Recommendations: Many texts have been published by organizations and associations: Pharmeuropa, ASPEC, SFSTP, A3P, EHEDG, FDA, 3A, ISPE, ICH, PDA, etc. BPW, WFI and distribution loop Pharmacopoeias […]
General Industry
Elmatec provides water and process solutions for various industrial players, including the electronics, chemical and metallurgy industries. Water can be used as a raw material and may thus be included directly in the manufacturing process. It can also be used as a carrier fluid to convey energy, molecules of interest or waste. Our know-how allows us to provide solutions adapted to the needs and constraints inherent to each type of industry: Materials (complex, aggressive or corrosive fluids) Instrumentation and automation […]
Health
In keeping with the recommendations outlined in the technical guide, and with more than 70 sites installed throughout the country, Elmatec helps these facilities control their water quality. Drinking water entering health facilities Public water supply networks provide drinking water under the Ministerial Order of January 11,2007, Appendix 1. However, the water supplied is not always free of bacteria and microparticles. Although this does not pose any real problem concerning consumption, such bacteria and particles may be problematic for frail or […]
