Disinfection For Purified Water Loop For Kamada Pharmaceuticals, Israel

Kamada, established in 1990, is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company based in Israel that produces specialty, life-saving therapeutic biopharmaceutical products using a sophisticated chromatographic purification technology. Kamada’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility contains the most up-to-date equipment for producing pharmaceuticals to the highest standards of quality and safety, and is FDA-compliant. Each step-in manufacturing is meticulously monitored and all processes are carried out according to internationally accepted codes of the US-FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Kamada needed a disinfection solution for their Purified Water (PW) loop, which is maintained “cold”. They were looking for a system that would continuously maintain microbial integrity according to strict USP-PW criteria (Total Count <100CFU/1ml).

An Atlantium HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV system was installed at the outlet of the PW tank to serve as the primary disinfection barrier, with water circulating through the system at 6m³/hr before reaching the points of use.

The Atlantium HOD UV system complies with cGMP construction criteria and meets disinfection standards according to US-PW criteria. It is an inline system with small footprint that can be installed vertically or horizontally to provide water disinfection and other applications on-demand.
