Science and Research Sector Background - Puribec

Industries · Science, Research & Laboratories

Process water for science and research

In the science, research, and laboratory sectors, the integrity of your results demands process water of uncompromised purity and continuous operation.

Science and Research Sector - Puribec

As a Canadian manufacturer, Puribec’s specialists design, build, and deploy complex water treatment trains meeting the industry’s most stringent standards.

In research and analytical laboratories, the slightest variation in process water quality can alter your samples, compromise the calibration of your precision instruments, and invalidate months of scientific work.

Our custom solutions combine reverse osmosis, deionization, and UV disinfection to produce consistent and reliable Type 1, 2, and 3 water, matched to the purity level each of your applications requires, while ensuring seamless integration with your existing equipment.

Science and research laboratory Challenge 01 · Purity

Mastering water conductivity

The Challenge

Mineral and organic impurities distort analysis and degrade precision instruments. Clinical and research processes require Type 1 or Type 2 water.

The Puribec Approach

High-performance membrane filtration — Reverse Osmosis (>95% TDS) and Nanofiltration (~80% TDS) for ultrapure water meeting strict requirements.

Deployed Technologies

Results

  • > 95% TDS Removed
  • Type 1 & 2 Water
Laboratory UV disinfection Challenge 02 · Microbiology

Advanced disinfection without chemical residue

The Challenge

Biofilms, chlorine, and TOC interfere with critical scientific processes and generate false results.

The Puribec Approach

High-performance UV disinfection — destroys TOC and biological contaminants without chemical by-products. Ideal for final equipment rinsing and sterilization.

Deployed Technologies

Results

  • TOC < 1 ppb
  • Zero Chemical Residue
Laboratory Kinetico Hydrus softener Challenge 03 · Thermal

Continuous 24/7 softening without interruption

The Challenge

Severe scaling destroys the efficiency of autoclaves, steam generators, and specialized systems.

The Puribec Approach

100% kinetic KineticoPRO softeners — multiple tanks ensure continuous supply during regenerations without electricity.

Deployed Technologies

Results

  • 24/7 Soft Water
  • Zero Electricity
Atmospher smart telemetry Challenge 04 · Compliance

Your Operational Benefits

Partnering with Puribec Technologies guarantees quantifiable results for your research infrastructure:

  • 95% reduction in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) through industrial reverse osmosis.
  • Up to 62% energy savings using LPHO UV technology compared to medium-pressure lamps.
  • 30% reduction in wastewater discharge and 40% reduction in salt consumption with counter-current regeneration softeners.
  • Smart telemetry for predictive maintenance and dual-tank systems operating 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water in Research and Science

How do you reduce TOC without using chemicals?

We utilize advanced UV disinfection systems. High-output, low-pressure amalgam lamps (LPHO) emitting at 185 nm generate powerful hydroxyl radicals that destroy TOC down to levels under 1.0 ppb. Unlike sodium metabisulfite injection or carbon beds vulnerable to channeling, UV disinfection creates zero carcinogenic by-products.

How do you prevent overheating in no-flow UV systems?

Our equipment incorporates LightWise technology, which reduces power consumption during no-flow periods, keeping temperatures below 40 °C (104 °F). This thermal regulation reduces quartz sleeve fouling by 60%.

Are your piping installations suitable for critical environments?

Yes, we offer specialized piping assemblies (PVDF, Stainless Steel) engineered by our Quebec specialists. Puribec experts ensure complete factory integration (pre-assembled skids) using specialized piping joined via automated infrared (IR) and sanitary TIG welding.

Can your controllers be connected to our SCADA telemetry network?

Abolutely. Atmospher Series smart controllers centralize telemetry data and integrate seamlessly with SCADA networks via Ethernet, BACnet, or Modbus.
