Elix Essential 3, 5, 10, 15 Water Purification Systems

Merck Millipore (USA), the Life Science division of Merck, today announced the addition of its Elix Essential systems to the company’s existing range of Elix water purification equipment. The new systems integrate patented Elix electrodeionization (EDI) technology along with several other complementary water purification techniques (e.g., pretreatment, reverse osmosis, and UV lamp treatment) in order to produce Type 2 pure water with consistently pure and reliable water quality.

The new Elix Essential system range includes models with flow rates of 3, 5, 10 or 15 liters of pure water per hour, and daily production possibilities of up to 300 liters. The high-quality pure water produced by the systems has resistivity values exceeding 5 MΩ·cm at 25°C (typically 10-15 MΩ·cm at 25°C) and less than 30 ppb of TOC (Total Oxidizable Carbon).

Users of Elix Essential systems have full control over pure water quality, thanks to the systems’ high-precision monitoring equipment that measures key water quality parameters. In addition, RFID technology provides traceability for the Progard pretreatment cartridges.

“These new systems are ideal for customers who need an easy-to-use, economical solution that can provide a constant and reliable source of Type 2 pure water in the volumes they need,” says Stéphanie Bourin, Lab Water Product Manager. “Users can count on low and predictable running costs thanks to integrated Elix EDI technology, which requires no costly resin regeneration or replacement. Plus, the systems’ overall reduced water and electricity use also enables additional savings,” she adds.
