Multiple-Effect Water Stills & Pure Steam Generator
STERIS-AUSTAR is established in 2006, with the full support of STERIS FINN-AQUA® factory in Finland. The factory manufactures Water Stills and Pure Steam Generators under the FINN-AQUA® trade mark using the same technology, features, manufacturing and quality assurance process.
In 1971, FINN-AQUA® introduced the world’s first Multiple-Effect Water Still, and in 1979 FINN-AQUA® introduced the Pure Steam Generator. The original patented Falling film Type evaporator has been proven in over 3000 installations worldwide.
FINN-AQUA® TC-Series Multiple-Effect Water Stills
FINN-AQUA® TC-Series Multiple-Effect Water Stills are designed to fully comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements to produce high quality distilled water that meets or exceeds US, Japan, European and Chinese Pharmacopoeias Water-for-Injection (WFI) specifications for use in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The TC-Series water stills are steam-heated and operate on the multiple-effect distillation principle.
