What Water Treatment Advancements Mean For Pharma

By Mike Henley, Ultrapure Water Journal and Industrial Water Treatment

Pharmaceutical water is key to the production of pharmaceutical drug products, many of which require high-purity water. This is water purified according to guidelines as defined by the USP or other pharmacopeias.

There have been a number of technological advancements in high-purity pharmaceutical-grade water. Unlike other industries, however, changes in the use of high-purity water systems have often been in response to compendial and regulatory changes rather than a desire to innovate.
