At Neu-Ion, our topmost priority is to provide you with water that is highly purified and meets the specific needs and standards of your industry. We understand that the quality of water is an essential aspect of your business operations, and we strive to ensure that you get uninterrupted access to pure water. Our services cater to a wide range of industries, including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, education, healthcare, data centers, and industrial sectors. We have a thorough understanding of the standards and regulations governing each of these industries, and we tailor our solutions to meet your unique requirements. You can rely on us to deliver water that meets the highest quality standards and helps you achieve your business objectives. The Neu-Ion systems employ a range of advanced techniques to produce pure water that you can trust without any doubts about its quality. Our comprehensive solutions incorporate deionization and ion exchange, water filtration, ultraviolet technology, and reverse osmosis, ensuring that every drop of water is meticulously treated and purified to meet industry standards and regulations. Deionization and Ion Exchange Deionization is a water purification process that uses the principles of ion exchange to remove ionizable solids. This method effectively eliminates almost all ionizable particles from water, resulting in water of exceptional quality with low levels of dissolved ions and minerals. The deionizer requires two types of resins – cation exchange resins that attract positively charged ions and anion exchange resins that attract negatively charged ions. This ensures that both cations and anions are exchanged during the deionization process. The resulting water can achieve a maximum purity of 18.2 megohms/cm resistance. This ion-free water is of high quality and is suitable for research purposes or activities that require pure water of high level. Water Filtration There are a variety of reasons why your facility or process requires water filtration. Neu-Ion provides multiple water filtration solutions, including cartridge filtration, multi-media filtration, carbon filtration, lead filtration, iron removal systems, and ultrafiltration. Our team can assist you in determining the most suitable method for your organization or project. Ultraviolet Technology UV technology has become crucial to water purification systems, particularly in industrial settings. UV water treatment does not require the use of chemicals, which makes it an ideal solution in situations where chlorine disinfection is not possible. UVC light is an effective way to remove harmful microorganisms. This is because UVC light emits a powerful energy that can break down DNA at the genetic level. Reverse Osmosis Osmosis is the movement of molecules from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane until both solutions have the same concentration. On the other hand, reverse osmosis is the process of exerting greater pressure to move water molecules from a contaminated, stronger solution to a purer, weaker one. Reverse osmosis removes visible and dissolved contaminants, achieving 90-99% purity. While it’s a cost-effective option with a long-lasting membrane, it may not meet high purity requirements for laboratory or medical settings. Connecting With a Water Purification Professional If you are interested in learning more about our water purification solutions, our team of experts would be happy to assist you. We can review your organization’s needs and recommend the best water system models and processes that are tailored to your practices. It is always better to have a Neu-Ion representative by your side to help you identify high-purity water applications that are relevant to your business.

The importance of water system sanitization

Maintaining a high-purity water system requires careful attention to many important steps, but one of the most critical is undoubtedly the process of sanitization. Proper sanitization is essential for removing any potential contaminants that may be present in the system, and it involves a rigorous cleaning process that must be carried out regularly and with great care. By ensuring that your water system is properly sanitized, you can help to safeguard against the risk of contamination and ensure that your water supply remains pure, safe, and reliable for your specific needs. The contaminants that could be lurking in your high-purity water system. Germs are microorganisms that can grow and multiply in various environments, such as water systems. Water, especially stagnant or untreated water, can provide a favorable habitat for germs to thrive. Water that is not treated adequately may compromise its purity, making it unsafe for consumption or use. Germs present in water can pose a significant threat to your organization’s operations. They can cause illnesses, infections, and other health problems. Moreover, contaminated water can damage equipment and disrupt processes, leading to significant losses for your organization. These germs, known as bacteria, fungi, and amebas, often form a collective known as a biofilm. This biofilm secretes a sticky, viscous substance that enables the microorganisms to attach to different surfaces within the water system. The slimy substance acts as a protective layer that shields the microorganisms from water treatment chemicals such as chlorine, which can potentially kill them. The biofilm’s ability to safeguard microorganisms allows them to thrive and proliferate, posing a threat to the water purification system and outputting contaminated water. Sanitization and maintenance is the best way to prevent and combat germs and prevent the growth of protective biofilm. Water purification systems and distribution loops require proper sanitization to prevent the growth of biofilm, which can lead to the formation of microorganisms that contribute to particulate, bacteria, and total organic carbon levels. This is especially important for high-purity water systems, where even small amounts of contaminants can have a significant impact. Procedures in healthcare facilities, such as surgeries, medical tests, and other interventions, are at risk of being compromised due to small amounts of contaminants. Similarly, test results obtained from water used in data centers can be compromised, leading to inaccurate data and potential system failures. Additionally, sanitation efforts in pharmaceutical facilities can be compromised, leading to contamination of equipment and products, which can have serious health consequences for consumers. How does Neu-Ion approach sanitation and maintenance of high-purity water systems? At Neu-Ion, we take the sanitization and disinfection of high-purity water systems seriously. As a part of our process, we utilize Minncare® Cold Sterilant, a peracetic acid solution. Minncare® Cold Sterilant is an effective solution that guarantees a 6-log reduction of bacteria without generating toxic aldehyde vapors, which can be harmful to humans. This solution is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and completely rinses out of the high-purity water system without leaving any residue behind. We understand that biofilm issues can be a challenge that affects your entire business’s operations, which is why we take a proactive approach to identifying and addressing these concerns. If you want to know more about our sanitation and disinfection efforts, or if you have any questions about how we approach biofilm issues, please do not hesitate to get in touch with a Neu-Ion sales representative. We are always happy to help.
