A water purification system for laboratory use
Clinical Biochemistry
|August 1, 1978
Abstract:
A water purification system is described, capable of producing Type I water upon demand at multiple locations up to 700 feet, from the purifying equipment. Tap water is initially treated employing reverse osmosis, followed by treatment with activated charcoal and mixed anion/cation exchange resins. The resultant Type I quality water is maintained by means of a recycling loop until removal upon demand. The current cost of producing water of this quality is $0.03 per liter, exclusive of capital and installation costs.
