Cultivated meat production involves making meat without raising or slaughtering animals. It works by using animal cells to grow muscle tissue, which is often more sustainable and ethical.
Despite the advantages of lab-grown or cell-based meat, facilities that produce it often face various challenges, including water usage. Water is integral to everything from cell culture to cleaning and cooling systems. Due to its importance, meeting water usage challenges can enhance the cultivated meat production process.
Water used in food production must be high-quality and free of contaminants because pure water reduces the adverse effects of the meat product or the production processes. Facilities can address this challenge through advanced water purification systems, which create a reliable water product to ensure consistency.
The compact MASTERpak™ULTRA is a complete solution for producing pure water for the production of lab-grown meat using membranes. It integrates MECO’s pretreatment, RO, EDI and UF product technologies in an ergonomic design for optimal performance and sampling access. This single-packaged skid comes with comprehensive services like commissioning, validation, and preventive maintenance. The MASTERpak™ULTRA is used in the biopharm industry to produce membrane-based Water for Injection (WFI), for the manufacture of injectable and parenteral drugs.
