The chemical composition of water varies in the quantity and the variety of dissolved minerals as the water supply changes. This variability can have a major influence on the taste and appearance of food and drink products. At Purite, we've designed a range of water purification systems to deliver a consistent, high quality supply of purified water.

4. Our business
• Typically our starting raw material is potable water
• We can produce many different grades of purified water by
altering the treatment processes
• Historically, we have worked in ‘standards-led’ niches
−
−
−
−
Laboratory = ASTM, BS ISO…..
Healthcare = HBN’s, EP, UKRA, ISO……
Pharmaceutical = USP, BP, EP…….
Decontamination = EN, HTM’s, BS……..
• Many of our products and designs have been developed for
these highly specific applications
• We manufacture standard and bespoke systems

opportunities
• Mains & Borehole water supply treatment:
“Normalise” mains water with RO/DE-I/filtration
combination for the production of flavoured
beverages for example…….
• Replace Softeners with RO to reduce costs,
maintenance etc and improve safety: alternative
boiler feed option………..
• Grey water recovery from RO concentrate, process
streams, filter backwash……..etc)
And re-use as:- water for flushing toilets, as feed for
water cooling systems, media filter backwashing,
alternative low pressure boiler feed or for general
wash down applications etc
