Distillation has been the most common technology used to produce Water for Injection (WFI) due to historical regulatory requirements. However, changes in the European Pharmacopeia no longer require the use of distillation to produce WFI. In this webcast, learn about the impact of this regulatory change on water system design and how reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration can be used to produce WFI with significant lifecycle cost advantages.
Key learning objectives:
- WFI regulatory requirements
- How to design a WFI system with non-distillation technologies
- How to convert an existing system to WFI production
- What is required to qualify a membrane-based WFI production system
