3rd Generation Multi-effect Stills for WFI & Pure Steam
Units engineered for optimised performance and safe distillate quality, exceeding the latest USP/EP
requirements for Water for Injection (WFI). Pure steam can be produced from the first column when required.
Design features
- Fully automatic operation and surveillance
- Unique 4-stage droplet separation
- High operational safety and flexibility
- Pure steam from the 1st column
- Space-saving footprint and easy installation

Documentation & validation
All AQUA-NOVA® stills and pure-steam generators undergo factory acceptance testing (FAT) before delivery.
Tests are documented and, when applicable, produced steam quality is verified by an independent laboratory.
Software is developed according to GAMP guidelines. On request, full Pre-IQ and OQ documentation is supplied,
including calibration records, pressure-vessel drawings, material/weld certificates, and complete mechanical/
electrical/instrumentation manuals.
