Spaceage Aquatechs: A helping hand to conservation

K Amarnath

Pharmaceutical water is perhaps the most important of all pharma utilities. It is used as an excipient in many pharma formulations, as a cleaning agent, and as a separately packaged product diluent.

Spaceage is a 11-year-old company with expertise in design, manufacture, installation and validation of pharma water systems. The company’s vision is to serving the cause of the pharma industry focused on pharma water systems. The long-term goal is to become a dynamic, responsive and respectable pharma water systems technology provider that becomes the preferred choice of customers.

The company’s expertise areas are the design, manufacture, installation and operation of purified water generation, storage and distribution system, loop piping, CIP and SIP systems for pharma, food & beverages and healthcare industries.

The company comprises a team of water treatment professionals with expertise in engineering of pharma water treatment systems with vast experience in the field of pharma water. Spaceage designs systems to meet compendial and non-compendial requirements.

Recent projects of Spaceage include Generation, storage, distribution and loop piping at Ms/s.Gland Pharma, M/s Fleming Laboratories , Acacia Life Sciences & Madras Pharmaceuticals.

Services provided by Spaceage include validation and documentation services, system malfunction or breakdown services, annual maintenance contracts, supply of spares and rectification and modification of clients’ existing purified water generation, storage and distribution systems

In addition, the company’s decade of experience in design and engineering of USP PFW and generation systems has helped them to be in the forefront of the advancement in the system design and engineering aspects in this area. A design that is robust and simple cannot be translated into engineering unless the right instruments and components are sourced to support the design. The strong sourcing team evaluates all critical component vendors or repute to asses their product models and incorporate into our design.

To design the appropriate generation, distribution and storage systems the company reviews and overviews various options, taking into consideration various operating circumstances, including microbial control strategies, sanitisation methods and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

To fullfill the company’s environmental and social responsibility and to lend a helping hand to water and energy conservation and reuse initiatives of clients, the company presents a major breakthrough in RO technology: the Desalitech CCD-RO system.

Desalitech CCD – RO Advantages
Maximum recovery – CCD-RO unit operates at 90 per cent ++ recovery.
Low operating cost – Desalitech CCD-RO (BW) technology can significantly reduce the energy consumption, typically 0.5 KWh/M³ *of permeate generated.
Greater reliability – Membrane fouling and scaling are disrupted and reduced by salinity cycling and high cross flow, thereby reducing downtime, reducing CIP requirements, and saving operating costs.
Footprint reduction – The Desalitech CCD-RO can significantly reduce the system footprint by eliminating the need for multiple stages as seen in conventional RO.
Accessibility & traceability – Off the shelf equipment e.g. Membranes, pumps, valves and piping, process instrumentation.
