Innovative fluid solutions launched for chem and biopharma

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has announced the launch of the Qdos H-FLO chemical metering and dosing pump for higher flow rates and WMArchitect single-use solutions, offering a wide range of biopharmaceutical fluid management innovations from a single, secure supplier.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions’ Divisional Director Asia–Pacific, Jacky Chan, said, “The two newly launched products are a testament to our commitment to prioritising our customers’ needs through constant innovation.

“With our 13 sales offices in APAC, we position ourselves close to our APAC customers by providing innovative, simple, and cost-effective solutions. One of our central tenets is helping our customers achieve the net zero target for sustainability.

“Our pumps’ high accuracy and repeatability ensure customers achieve cost savings in chemical usage that assist them in moving towards net zero targets. By making the chemical dosing simpler and more efficient for operations, maintenance and EHS teams, Qdos H-FLO offers several onboard communication options for SCADA and PLC integration to achieve process optimisation.”

Qdos H-FLO

The recent launch of Qdos H-FLO features up to 600l/h and pressure capability up to seven bar (102psi), making chemical dosing simpler and cost-effective. It serves a wide variety of applications and industries, such as water and wastewater treatment, mining and mineral processing, chemical applications in food and beverage, and pulp and paper. With higher flow rates combined with a variety of pump heads to ensure chemical compatibility with the process fluid, the Qdos H-FLO high-precision pump offers flexibility to be scalable with a customer’s process.

Qdos H-FLO also cuts costs through higher-precision chemical metering, with an accuracy of ±1 per cent and repeatability of ±0.5 per cent in dosing. It will benefit applications that include disinfectants, coagulants, flocculants, acids/alkalis, mining reagents and surfactants.

Qdos H-FLO is supported by an optional pressure sensing kit that provides real-time pressure monitoring, ensuring process security and improving safety. The kit comes with configurable alarms for process monitoring and is compatible with commonly used chemicals in process industries.

To streamline the process, safeguard products, and reduce regulatory burdens for biopharmaceutical companies, the new single-use solutions offer standard, ready-to-use assemblies and customised designs with an open architecture approach. WMArchitect is a new end-to-end, single-use fluid path management solution consisting of customised designs – single-use assemblies, single-use fluid transfer assemblies, fill/finish single-use assemblies and validation testing.

All WMArchitect single-use solutions are manufactured, pre-assembled and packaged at WMFTS’ global network of state-of-the-art Class 7 cleanrooms. The WMFTS global supply network provides uninterrupted supply security and robust lead times. To ensure easy deployment and meet the requirements set by current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines, lot traceability of each component can be made available as part of our detailed documentation.

“WMArchitect is ideal for high-purity biopharmaceutical process development, clinical trials and small to large-scale production batches,” Mr Chan said. “As the most critical component for maximising performance is where the tubing meets the pump, our assembly solutions are designed synergistically with our best-in-class Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump technologies and filling solutions to ensure reliable, repeatable performance for your most sensitive processes.”
