Healthcare & Pharma

USP-grade water. Legionella-free systems. Full USFDA audit trails.

Healthcare facilities and pharmaceutical manufacturers require water purity standards that far exceed industrial norms — and the documentation trail to prove it at every regulatory audit.

Industry Challenges

What makes healthcare & pharma water treatment complex.

Every industry has unique water treatment requirements. Understanding these sector-specific challenges is the starting point for every NWPL project.

USP Purified Water (PW) and Water for Injection (WFI) require conductivity <1 µS/cm and TOC <100 ppb — municipal supply cannot meet this without advanced treatment.

Cooling tower water in hospitals creates Legionella risk that has caused fatalities. ASHRAE 188 compliance requires active biocide management and regular monitoring.

USFDA and WHO-GMP audits demand complete documentation: DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ reports, ongoing deviation logs, and calibration certificates for all monitoring instruments.

Pharmaceutical effluent contains APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) and solvents that require specialised biological and chemical treatment — standard ETP processes are inadequate.

Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSDs) need water purity certified to European Standard EN 285 for autoclave feed — another separate water quality standard.

Compliance Requirements

Pharma and healthcare have the most complex water compliance requirements in any industry.

NWPL systems are designed to meet every applicable standard for your sector — from the day of commissioning.
