The chemical composition of water varies in the quantity and the variety of dissolved minerals as the water supply changes. This variability can have a major influence on the taste and appearance of food and drink products. At Purite, we've designed a range of water purification systems to deliver a consistent, high quality supply of purified water.

4. Our business
• Typically our starting raw material is potable water
• We can produce many different grades of purified water by
altering the treatment processes
• Historically, we have worked in ‘standards-led’ niches
−

Laboratory = ASTM, BS ISO…..
Healthcare = HBN’s, EP, UKRA, ISO……
Pharmaceutical = USP, BP, EP…….
Decontamination = EN, HTM’s, BS……..
• Many of our products and designs have been developed for
these highly specific applications
• We manufacture standard and bespoke systems
