This document specifies design, materials selection, construction and operation of Purified Water (PW)
and Water for Injection (WFI) pretreatment and membrane-based production systems.
As many different types of feed water are possible, different components and configurations are
presented. A decision matrix is provided to give guidance for the different types of feed water.
This document excludes
— selection of the appropriate compendial water definition per system: e.g. PW, WFI or other;
— thermal process for generation of PW/WFI;
— loops, storage and distribution;
— pure steam generation and distribution;
— laboratory water systems and
— validation.
