Leading the way in sustainable ultra-pure water
TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
About the ORION™ USP/WFI Validated Water System
Ideal for purified water and cold WFI production, Orion is a skid-mounted, multi-technology purified water generation system design. It delivers softening, reverse osmosis (RO) and continuous electro-deionization (CEDI) technologies that can be fully, or partially hot water sanitized.
Orion water treatment is fully compliant with FDA, cGMP, and GAMP requirements. It also meets the quality standards of the USP and pharmacopeias around the globe.
Orion comes with many sustainability features including low energy membranes reverse osmose (RO), integral recovery RO, and concentrate recycle. All products and materials have been selected for optimum recyclability. Delivering critical high performance in a sustainable manner is key to this high-technology product.
With three different models available, providing flow rates from 0.5 to 20m3 /hr, you can easily find the right purified water system for your facility. Each model offers many options and helpful features, providing enormous flexibility for various types of pharmaceutical water, including water for injection.
Can Water for Injection be Sustainable?
Did you know that WFI production can take up as much as half of a facility's total heating and cooling demand? When steam is mostly generated with fossil energy, why are you *still* in the heating and cooling era?
Imagine reducing fossil energy use and CO2 emissions while still delivering compliant WFI with maximum reliability. Welcome to the sustainable Ambient WFI generation era based on membrane filtration systems. Because they run entirely on electricity, they save 60-90% of the energy required for distillation. So, Ambient WFI helps decarbonize a facility's processing footprint and paves the way for it to be based entirely on renewable energy.
At Veolia, we are working together towards the purpose of phasing out carbon-intensive WFI generation processes from the pharmaceutical processing industry globally by developing, fabricating, and delivering Orion, our cutting-edge non-thermal pharma water generation system. Because it uses electricity instead of heat, Orion significantly reduces water and energy demands, making ambient WFI far less resource-intensive and a sustainable replacement for conventional distillation.
The benefits are almost too many to count but in short, Ambient WFI is cheaper, safer, and greener than conventional thermal distillation.

The Benefits of Switching to an Ambient WFI System
Capital and Energy-efficient
Lowering pharma water generation-related investments by 50% and energy consumption by 60-90%, ambient WFI is a sustainable and cost-effective replacement for distillation helping to support on-site energy and budget reduction targets.
Robust microbial control
Orion is programmed to complete a highly effective hot water sanitization cycle, minimizing microbiological risk.
Compliant water production
Orion purification process results in water grades that exceed the compendial standards set by pharmacopeias around the world.
Less Cleaning, Higher Uptime
Coupled with ozone injection, ambient WFI generation eliminates the need for longer loop sanitization with heating and cooling cycles, reducing the risk of rouging and ensuring a rapid return to service and a longer run time without maintenance.
Full Electrification
With electricity as its only source of energy (even for its own hot-water sanitization needs), Orion paves the way for facilities to increase their sourcing of clean power and lower WFI-related Scope 1 and 2 emissions by up to 30%.
Minimal Waste
Orion systems have the option to further water savings by recirculating the brine reject, increasing recovery to 90+% and halving the water waste during recycling.
Space-saving with a Simpler Layout
The compact, stand-alone Orion packages most typical needs in an all-in-one format resulting in a 30-50% lower footprint and a simplified pretreatment infrastructure as the water only passes through one system and no steam is required.
Safer Operation
Because Orion runs at ambient temperature, WFI loops are not a burning hazard to operators and don't get in the way of worker safety.
