Lounges 2026: efficient WFI generation

Feb 26, 2026 | 2 min read

Is your WFI production still state-of-the-art? At Lounges in Karlsruhe, Germany (booth A4.4), we will showcase the next generation of highly efficient membrane processes with a minimal footprint.

Key takeaways
              80-90% lower operating costs: sustainable reduction of running costs including maintenance
CO2-neutral WFI production made possible: energy-efficient membrane technology combined with green electricity enables emission-free WFI production
Up to 60 % less space: reduced footprint compared to PW generator and WFI distiller.
Spare parts freely available on the market and regional support service
Expert presentations offer concise insights into further related topics

            

Membrane processes are becoming the preferred method for producing water for injection (WFI). They are significantly more energy efficient, improve the environmental impact, lower investment costs, and reduce the machine’s footprint. We have been involved from the outset and have had membrane-based systems in our portfolio for many years. At Lounges, we will demonstrate how you can make your WFI production even more efficient. Our experts will also provide insights into other exciting developments in their presentations.

WFI 2.0: more efficient and space-saving

At booth A4.4, everything revolves around WFI production. We will show you how WFI can be produced economically and within a compact footprint, and how you can successfully implement the transition from distillation to membrane processes. The focus is on ultrafiltration, the last stage in the process, which is essential for the final definition of WFI. Accordingly, this filtration stage and its verification are of great importance. But time is money and understandably a decisive factor in your investment decisions.

We offer a solution: Since the membrane process only requires one system and the integrity check of the filter modules is conducted during operation, you benefit from minimal downtimes and maximum economic efficiency. Thanks to the membrane-based process, you can save between 80 and 90 % on operating costs. The footprint of your system is reduced by up to 60 %, and CO₂emissions even by up to 95 %. Moreover, you receive spare parts that are freely av available on the market and regional service support.

Concise, insightful presentations

In addition, the experts from the Syntegon subsidiary Pharmatec will hold several presentations at Lounges. They will explain how the conversion from hot-produced WFI using distillation to cold-produced WFI using ultrafiltration is carried out, how you can select the ideal pure media system using our consultation tool, and how switching from fossil fuels to electricity in WFI and pure steam production can improve your CO₂ footprint. Join us and take away concise, practical insights.
