Description of the system The VWR P manages the production and distribution of ultrapure water from purified water. It consists of three main units: Main System: manages the production of ultrapure water. Dispenser: integrates the touchscreen and manages the dispensing.
1.2 Product Features The VWR P ultrapure water system provides an integrated solution for lab water supply. This system is easy to install, easy to operate and easy to maintain. This system has the following features: Type I ultrapure water is produced from pure water.
1.5 Operation Principles VWR P ultrapure water system produces ultrapure water from purified water. Pure water flows through H Pack for further deionization, through a UV lamp chamber with a dual wavelength UV lamp to destroy trace organic pollutants in water, then through a polishing cartridge to remove the last trace of ions, then a 0.2 μm final filter to the outlet.
