Purified Water For Emergency Eye Wash Stations

An emergency eye wash manufacturer incorporates USP Purified Water in its portable eye wash stations. The on-line 770MAX analyzer with the 5000TOC Sensor helps assure consistent performance and quality of their product.

Fendall's decision for TOC and conductivity analysis
The Fendall Company, located in Platteville, Wisconsin, is the world leader in portable emergency eye care products, and they are the designer and producer of the first self-contained, gravity-fed emergency eye wash station. When they decided to purchase a TOC and conductivity analysis system for continuous monitoring of their on-site USP (US Pharmacopoeia) Purified Water production system, Fendall turned to their water analysis equipment suppliers, Mettler-Toledo Thornton, Inc. of Bedford, Massachusetts and Total Water Treatment, Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin for the right solution.

According to Ron Geil, Director of Operations for the Fendall Company, they specified the 770MAX Multiparameter Analyzer, 5000TOC Total Organic Carbon Sensor and Conductivity sensor since these instruments meet the requirements for measuring USP (643) Total Organic Carbon and USP 645 Water Conductivity. With the THORNTON system, Fendall can confirm that their water treatment facility is in compliance with USP Purified Water requirements. Plus, the USP grade water provided in their eye wash stations allows Fendall to age-date their products, thereby providing lower maintenance costs for their customers and gives Fendall a clear advantage over other systems on the market. Joseph Oravetz of Total Water Treatment noted that they designed a water purification system for Fendall to include continuous monitoring capability with on-line measurements in a compact, reliable package. That's where the 770MAX Multiparameter Analyzer and the 5000TOC and conductivity sensors came in. The 770MAX analyzer can accept simultaneous inputs from a variety of Thornton sensors, so the 5000TOC and conductivity sensors were quickly and easily installed on the water treatment system.
