To make pure and ultrapure water, the impurities discussed on the previous page must be efficiently and
effectively removed. Barnstead water purification systems employ multiple technologies, some synergistically,
to remove impurities and give you consistently PURE water.
Water purification is a step-by-step process often requiring a combination of technologies, each of which varies in the
ability to remove specific contaminants.
The table below illustrates which impurities are removed by each technology.

Heat Source

A basic distillation diagram

Distillation
Distillation has the broadest removal capabilities of
any single form of water purification.
Water is boiled and undergoes phase changes during the
distillation process, changing from liquid to vapor and back
to liquid. It is the change from liquid to vapor that separates
the water (in various degrees) from many dissolved
impurities, such as ions, organic contaminants with low
boiling points <100 °C, bacteria, pyrogens and particulates.
Distillation cannot be used on its own to remove inorganic
ions, ionized gases, organics with boiling points higher than
100 °C, or dissolved non-ionized gases.
Benefits
• Offers the broadest removal capabilities of any single
form of water purification
• Requires no consumables
Limitations
• Requires periodic maintenance and manual cleaning of
system to maintain water purity
• Requires water for cooling

What Does Type 1 Water Mean?


Reagent water has quantitative specifications that describe the level of purity for the water. These specifications
have been described by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D1193, ISO (International Organization for
Standardization) 3696 and CLSI®-CLRW. (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute-Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water).
The most commonly used standards, ASTM D1193-6, are summarized in the tables below.

ASTM Standards for Reagent Water


Measurement (unit) Type I Type II Type III
Resistivity (MΩ.cm) at 25 °C >18 >1 >4
Total organic carbon (ppb) <50 <50 <200
Sodium (ppb) <1 <5 <10
Chloride (ppb) <1 <5 <10
Total silica (ppb) <3 <3 <500

The ASTM standards are further subdivided into A, B and C.


These standards can be used in conjunction with the Type of water.

Conductivity and Resistivity


Electrical conductance or resistance is measured by two in-line electrodes. Electrical current moves through water using
ionic molecules as stepping stones. The fewer stepping stones, the more difficult the passage of electricity. This causes
less electrical conductance and more electrical resistance. The temperature of the water also affects the conductivity/
resistivity so readings are usually normalized to 25 °C via temperature compensation.
We use resistivity to measure ion concentration in pure water. We understand water and realize that in order to achieve

The Watson Lab is a traditional cell and molecular biology lab, so they needed a system that is capable of producing
Type 1 water free of nucleases, pyrogens and bacteria. Our Barnstead GenPure xCAD Plus UV/UF system is perfect
for their ultrapure water needs.
Our Barnstead Pacific TII­, which will produce water for the general lab uses, will also serve as feed water for the
GenPure xCAD Plus UV/UF.

Le Lab
Applications in the Lab : ICP/MS, GC/MS, HPLC, Chemical and Buffer Prep
Water Type(s) Needed : Type 1 (with low organics) and Type 2 water
Solution : Barnstead LabTower TII and the Barnstead GenPure Pro UV
The Le Lab performs analytical experiments on a daily basis. They would like to make their own buffers and reagents,
so we suggested a configuration that would give the lab both Type 1 and Type 2 water.
Our Barnstead LabTower TII converts tap water into Type 2 water, which is stored in the 100 L integrated reservoir.
Water can be drawn from the reservoir or from our Barnstead GenPure Pro UV (which has a 0.2 µm on it to ensure
bacteria-free water). The reservoir feeds our Barnstead GenPure Pro system, which will deliver ultrapure (Type 1) water.

Water Type(s) Needed : Type 1 and Type 2 (distilled)
Solution : Barnstead Mega-Pure Still with Automatic Collection System and a
Barnstead MicroPure UV
The Bauer Lab needed Type 1 water for their HPLC and analytical experiments (estimated to be less than 15 L a day)
and distilled water for general reagent preparation and glassware rinsing, thus our Barnstead MicroPure UV and a
Barnstead Mega-Pure Still with Automatic Collection System were recommended. A dual cartridge deionizer was also
suggested as pretreatment to the still as the lab’s tap water was especially hard.

Electrodeionization, EDI, unites two proven


technologies for producing ultrapure water:
Electrodialysis and ion exchange. In contrast
to conventional ion exchange in which resins
must be either chemically regenerated or the
cartridge discarded, EDI utilizes an electric
current for continual resin regeneration.

Technologies that keep you How EDI works


one step ahead Several layers of ion selective membranes are situated
• Constant high efficiency of the ion exchange layer bed between an anode and a cathode. Layered ion exchange
produces consistently high quality water resin beds and concentrate chambers are alternately
positioned between them.
• No regeneration chemicals required and no disposal
of cartridges, making this technology friendly for On applying an electric voltage, water (H20) is split into H+
the environment and OH – in the cell.

• No exchange of spent resins or cartridges saves cost The H+ and Na+ cations can migrate through the cation
permeable membranes, anions through the anion
• High-purity water when you need it with no wait time
permeable membranes.
The ions migrate in the direction of the applied voltage, i.e.
anions to the positive pole (anode), cations to the negative
pole (cathode). The water ions that migrate through an ion
exchange chamber displace salt ions retained by the ion
exchange resins and so continually regenerate the resins.
Optional hand dispenser The salt ions migrate through the appropriate ion selective
membranes into the concentrate chambers and are flushed
out by water. As all concentration chambers are flushed,
excess H+ and OH – ions can again combine to form H20.

Technologies that produce


high purity water —

Reverse osmosis membrane


The high performance reverse osmosis membrane
removes approximately 98 % of inorganic ions and
99 % of all dissolved organic substances as well as
microorganisms and particles.
High purity water cartridge
This cartridge further purifies the reverse osmosis
permeate to produce high purity water as required
by international standards (ASTM Type II, CAP, ISO
3696, BS 3997 and CLSI).
UV lamp (UV version only):
The 254 nm UV transmission ensures optimal
UV irradiation. Light of wavelength 254 nm acts
as germicide.
Recirculation
Recirculation of the water between the storage
reservoir and Pacific TII is important for
maintenance of the water quality. Water from the
reservoir is cycled through the high purity water
cartridge and the UV chamber, then back to the
reservoir. (available only for systems that include a
tank with recirculation/pressure pump).

the boiler through a pyrogens-reducing baffle and into
the condenser.

4. In the condenser, the pure vapor is transported


through the condenser where it contacts tubes or coils
containing cooling water. The pure vapor contacts
these tubes and coils and is condensed to produce
pure water.

5. The distilled water exits the condenser and is stored in


a reservoir through the Distilled Water Outlet.

6. Atmospheric vent allows for volatile contaminants to be


vented, increasing the purity of the distilled water.

Our technical service experts are a great
resource for any feed water questions you
might have.

Here is an explanation of key characteristics impacting


RO performance:
Temperature
Volumes listed for the reverse osmosis product water are
based on a feed water temperature of 15 °C (59 °F). For
every 1 °C below 15 °C (59 °F), the quantity of product
water is reduced by 3 %. Additionally, if the feed water
temperature goes beyond 25 °C (77 °F), the RO membrane
may be damaged. We recommend a hot and cold water
mixing valve to regulate the temperature to 15 °C (59 °F).
Alkalinity and calcium
Carbonates, bi-carbonates, hydroxides and calcium
impurities in your feed water contribute to RO membrane
scaling. Both the Thermo Scientific Barnstead Pacific RO
and Thermo Scientific Barnstead LabTower RO systems
have pretreatment solutions to prevent this. Included in
the pretreatment system is a hardness stabilizer cartridge
which binds calcium, thereby protecting the RO membrane.
Chlor­­ine
Chlorine can damage the RO membrane and reduce its
performance and useful life. Again, both Pacific RO and
LabTower RO have solutions to pretreat the water, which Barnstead LabTower RO with optional hand dispenser
includes a 5 µm prefilter + activated carbon cartridge to
prevent entry of particles >5 µm and high concentrations SDI (Silt Density Index)

Water purification systems can only produce pure water
when the cartridges and filters are changed according
to the operational manuals. Regular maintenance of
your water system will ensure the product water is
consistently the highest purity.

Cleaning your

allows bacterial
contaminants to be
flushed away

Changing the UV lamp protects the


system against microorganisms and
oxidizes organic compounds in the

Go Green
Smart Green designs mean a great water system for you and a smaller
impact on the environment!
Our engineers created water systems with the environment in mind:
Reduce
Our cartridges use high quality resin to extend the useful life of the cartridge.
Extended life reduces the need to replace your cartridges which, in turn,
reduces the waste stream and improves your laboratory’s sustainability.
You’ll use your cartridges longer, reducing the need to reorder, ship, handle
and dispose of your cartridges.
Our units are designed to minimize the amount of water that is used during
the analysis.
To provide the customer with pure water and low power consumption, our units
go into a low energy mode after dispensing without sacrificing water quality for
your applications.
Reuse
Our cartridges were engineered with the environment in mind. The plastic
cartridge casings and endcaps are constructed using virgin polypropylene to
allow for easy recycling after end of life. The cartridge is assembled in a clean
environment using environmentally friendly ultrasonic welding that minimizes
energy usage compared to other joining as well as avoids the use of any
environmentally unfriendly solvents. Our conscious effort to avoid chemical
solvents and adhesives makes the plastic and resin suitable to be recovered,
reground and reused for a variety of alternate uses.

Ohm-cm – Unit of specific resistance of water.

Osmosis – The diffusion of a solvent through a


semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated
solution to a more concentrated solution.

Percent Recovery – In reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration,


the ratio of pure water output to feed water input.

Percent Rejection – In reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration,


the ratio of impurities removed to total impurities in the
incoming feed water. For example, RO membranes
typically remove (reject) 90 % of the dissolved inorganic
contaminants in water.

Permeate – In reverse osmosis, the water that diffuses


through the membrane, thereby becoming purified water.

Pretreatment – Initial water treatment steps performed


prior to final processing to prolong the life of cartridges
and filters and to protect downstream elements from
premature failure.

Product Water – The purified water produced as a result


of treatment.
