3. PRODUCT AND PROCESS


DESCRIPTION

3.1 Product Description


The PURELAB Ultra water purification unit has been specifically
designed to provide a supply of ultrapure water with very low levels
of impurities for laboratory, medical and industrial applications.
The PURELAB Ultra can be bench, under bench or wall mounted
with an optional wall mounting kit. A range of accessories is available
to complement the unit (see Section 10 - Consumables and
Accessories, for details).

Control Panel Dispense Nozzle Dispense Controller

Door

PURELAB Ultra

The PURELAB Ultra range of water purification units has been


designed to provide the ultimate in high purity water for laboratory
applications. The products need to be fed with pre-treated water,
typically from a reverse osmosis supply. They can be operated directly
from a ringmain feed as point of use polishers, with or without local
buffer storage, using a Docking Vessel or suitable reservoir.
Alternatively, they can be supplied from a local pre-treatment/storage
system, for example a PURELAB Prima and Docking Vessel
combination.

Pre-treated water enters via an inlet solenoid, and is pumped


through the primary purification pack, an intermediate water
quality sensor, a polishing purification pack and final
temperature and water quality sensors before being
dispensed or re-circulated through a non-return valve back to
the pump inlet.
The first purification pack removes most of the impurities
from the water. The intermediate water quality sensor
measures the resistivity of the water from the first pack and
initiates an alarm when the pack needs to be replaced.
Any remaining ionic and organic impurities are removed by
the second polishing purification pack. Product water
resistivity and temperature are measured before dispense.
The water within the unit is re-circulated through the
purification technologies to maintain purity. To minimize heat
build up the recirculation is at reduced flow rate and can be
set to be intermittent (10 minutes every hour). Similarly,
intermittent recirculation can be used overnight in 'sleep
mode'.
An optional POU filter is available if required to protect the
outlet from bacterial contamination.

5.2 Positioning the PURELAB Ultra


Before installation and operation of the PURELAB Ultra unit, please
read and observe the following points:
Environment

The unit should be installed on a flat, level surface, in a


clean, dry environment. The unit can also be wall mounted
against a vertical wall capable of supporting the weight (for
this we recommend the use of the wall mounting kit Part No.
LA610 on substantial brick/concrete walls or LA622 for stud
partition walls).
WARNING! IF THE UNIT IS TO BE WALL MOUNTED,
ENSURE IT IS MOUNTED USING THE
CORRECT WALL MOUNTING KIT AND
Rear Mounting Points
THAT THE WALL IS CAPABLE OF
SUPPORTING THE OPERATING WEIGHT
OF THE SYSTEM. ALWAYS CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED
IN THE KIT.
Note: Refer to Specifications for unit weights
(Section 3.4 - Technical Specification).
The unit is designed to operate safely under the following conditions:

ELGA PURELAB Ultra Mk 2 - US Operator Manual

Electrical
Mains power socket
Fuse The units can be connected universally to any electrical
supply in the range of 100 - 240V and 50 - 60Hz. The mains
lead is supplied with a molded plug on one end and a molded
ON/OFF
connector to the unit on the other. The unit should be
switch
connected to an earth. The unit includes a battery which will
require changing on a periodic basis, typically every 3-5
Mains power lead
years. (Contact local Service provider)
WARNING! DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS
INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE
Electrical Connections ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT
TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER (3 VOLTS, LITHIUM
CR2032). DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS.
Drain/Flush

A semi-rigid flexible connection to a sink or suitable drain


capable of at least 2.0 l/min is required. The drain point
should have a gravity fall below the level of the unit and any
connections direct to drain should have an air-break device
fitted. On the Genetic & Bioscience units a separate flush line
to drain is required. The drain and flush drain lines should run
individually to a convenient drain point.
Feed Water

The feedwater should be potable water, pre-purified using


reverse osmosis, deionisation, or distillation. If using a supply
other than reverse osmosis treated, it is strongly
recommended that a 0.2 micron membrane filter is installed
prior to remove colloidal impurities. The feedwater should
enter the PURELAB Ultra via an 8mm (5/16") O/D semi rigid
tube, and should be in the temperature range 1 to 40C (34
to 104F). To ensure optimum performance it is
recommended that the feedwater temperature be between 10
to 15°C.
CAUTION! Operating with feed water temperatures
outside the range from 1 to 40°C (33.8 to
104F) will cause damage to the PURELAB
Ultra unit.
For pressurized feeds, the minimum direct inlet pressure is
0.07 bar (1.0 psi) and maximum inlet pressure is 0.7 bar
(10 psi). Feedwater pressures up to 4 bar (60 psi) must be
reduced using a pressure regulating valve (Part No. LA652).
CAUTION! High feedwater pressures which may
exceed 4bar (60 psi) must be reduced
using a pressure regulator with built in
pressure relief (Part No. LA575).
Failure to install the correct pressure
regulator will cause damage to the
PURELAB Ultra unit.
Reservoir feeds to the PURELAB Ultra unit should be
positioned at the same height, or above the unit, to provide a
positive flooded inlet pressure of approximately 0.07 bar
(1 psi).
