MECO delivers pharmaceutical vapor compression distillation systems for continuous Water for Injection (WFI) production, helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers achieve pharmacopeial water quality with lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance requirements, and proven long-term reliability.
With nearly 100 years of experience and thousands of installations worldwide, MECO has become one of the industry’s most trusted providers of pharmaceutical water purification systems. Our vapor compression technology supports critical applications requiring reliable Water for Injection production while delivering operational flexibility and long-term performance.
Vapor compression distillation is a process used to produce Water for Injection by evaporating and condensing purified water while recycling heat within the system. This approach supports consistent WFI quality with lower utility consumption and long-term operational efficiency.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use vapor compression systems because they provide reliable Water for Injection production with reduced energy requirements, lower maintenance demands, and consistent compliance with global pharmacopeial standards.
MECO vapor compression systems can accept multiple feedwater sources including softened water, reverse osmosis permeate, and deionized water, allowing flexibility when integrating with existing pretreatment systems.
Yes. MECO vapor compression systems are available in both hot distillate (80–85°C) and cold distillate (ambient temperature) configurations. This flexibility allows facilities to select the operating strategy that best aligns with storage, distribution, and manufacturing requirements.
Yes. Vapor compression systems can be integrated into complete pharmaceutical water systems including pretreatment, Purified Water generation, storage and distribution systems, and pure steam generation solutions.
Technology selection depends on facility requirements including capacity, infrastructure, utility availability, operational strategy, and lifecycle objectives. Pharmaceutical manufacturers often evaluate system design, operational flexibility, and long-term performance when selecting a Water for Injection solution.
Note: All VC Still models are available in both hot and cold distillate arrangements.
