Type II
Analytic Grade Water

Type II Water ASTM* is the most used reactive in any analysis laboratory, and it is of key importance in many productive processes. Presence in water of certain contaminating elements can affect greatly this productive process as well as the results of the analysis done in the laboratory. The concentration of these contaminating elements are measured in parts per million (ppm) or even parts per billion (ppb). In order to optimize the results of any tests where water intervenes as a reactive agent, it is necessary to purify it putting it through a sequence of different techniques, eliminating any contaminated agent in it. The water purifier equipment must be well designed so to monitorize the purity grade in water, have an easy dispensation unit and be equiped with a proper storage unit that will prevent any kind of contamination. Research Laboratories, Universities, Food Industry Quality Control Labs, all of them are good examples of Type II Water use. In the Husbandry Industry, purified water takes a special role in the semen dose production. Semen extenders specific for each species that guarantees the semen preservation and its fertilization capabilities need purified water with an osmotic pressure of zero (0), an adequate pH and total absence of any pollutant that might compromise the quality of the semen. The ASTIM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is the most prestigious and internationally known institution dedicated to stablish quality standards and guiding values for water quality, which are shown below:

Advantages of
PU Equipment

Biosecurity

Biosecurity is becoming of key importance specially nowadays in order to maintain a contamination free area in the laboratory as well as protect the semen doses. External agents that come by purchasing bottled water represent a hazard. In the first place, the transport that distributes them can visit several places during delivery, increasing the contamination risk. Secondly, bottled distilled water in most of the cases is not sterile, which can affect the quality of semen doses. To obtain the purified water in the same place where it is going to be used is the safest biosecurity measure. Moreover, Poseidon Ultrapure Equipment comes with a UV sterilization lamp at 254 nm that destroys all kind of bacteria and virus, including COVID 19.

Environment

The use of bottled distilled water elevates the carbon footprint, adding a lot of external costs to the product of interest, which is the pure water. Self-production of purified water is the most responsible and respectful attitude towards the environment.

Storage

Storage costs space and money. Poseidon Ultrapure Equipment save both avoiding logistic processes and inventory management. The storage of bottled water during a prolonged period of time above temperatures of 6-8ºC increases the risk of bacterial proliferation in it.

Self-reliance

To have Type II water at your disposal becomes as easy as opening the tap, and you will always have maximum quality purified water, microbiologicaly safe, stored in the sterile water tank.

Cost Saving

Self-production of purified water leads to a great saving of costs per liter, something specially important in places with a great demand of pure water.

Quality Control

Poseidon Ultrapure Equipment monitorize constantly the quality of the water that is being produces, measuring its electric conductivity in μS with a sensitivity of ± 0,1 μS/cm. Every equipment comes calibrated from factory with a pattern traceable to international standards of electric conductivity and it can be recalibrated as many times as the User will need it. The quality of bottled water is not constant, which requires for the user to make a quality control everytime he opens one, hence having a calibrated conductivity meter.

Poseidon Ultrapure
Equipment

Poseidon Ultrapure Equipment are the final solution to the most demanding customers, those who search the maximum quality on their water and all the information on each stage of the purification procedure. They are conceived for Type II Water Analytic Grade keeping a user friendly philosophy and low maintenance requirements. The sensors and all the alarm systems keep the user informed at all times of the correct state of the equipment, the quality of the water produced and the need of changing any of the filters. The purification stages are the following:
