Astacus²
Produces Ultra pure Water
The Astacus² system is designed for the
production of ultra pure water (0.055 µS/cm) out
of permeate from a reverse osmosis or deionised
water.
The ultra pure water is produced with a combination of
optimized mixed bed cartridges and can be tapped with
a flexible dispenser. If water is not used, automatic
recirculation within the Astacus² system ensures a
permanent high quality of ultra pure water. All components
of the Astacus² are assembled in an especially designed
housing. The system can be easily opened by removing
the side panel to access the ultra pure module, UV lamp
and ultra filtration module. The µS - control checks the
conductivity of feed water to protect the cartridges against
inappropriate feed water (black line). If conductivity is
too high the water flow will be rejected.

Options
µS-control volumetric dispensing
The µS-control checks the conductivity of Our dispenser allows the volumetric
feed water to protect the cartridges against controlled dispensing of water with an
inappropriate feed water. If conductivity increment of 0.1 L and a tap volume
is too high the water flow will be rejected. from 0.1 to 99 L. The system prevents
overflow of containers and allows to
dispense water without supervising.
TOC monitoring (TI version)
The TOC monitoring during production and
intermittent measurements during non-use wall mounted configuration
periods allows to check the organic content To save valuable benchtop space the
in water continously between 1 and 999 ppb. system can be ordered as wall mounted
configuration. The whole system can be
mounted on the wall with inclined display.
bench integrated (BI version)
To save valuable benchtop space the
Astacus² can be ordered as BI configuration.
The system will be installed underneath
the work bench and only the display
and dispenser are mounted on the wall.
User Interface & Software
Currently recorded data and warning messages will be displayed on the touch screen monitor.
The software furthermore supports the user with a self-diagnostic module which reduced
service time and costs.
