CENTRA® R60/120
Complete water purification, storage, control and distribution system.
Features- The compact design provides flexible installation options for new buildings and refurbishments. The CENTRA’s very small footprint means that it can be placed close to the work areas, avoiding the negative cost and design implications of unnecessarily long pipework
- Reliable, continual supply of pure water using unique access controls, leak detection systems and full AV alarms with optional building management system (BMS) connectivity
- Optimized water purity through use of in-line UV oxidation, deionization, and 0.2 μm filtration
- Fast and easy sanitization ensures that optimum purity is maintained throughout the life of the product
Centralized Water
The CENTRA has revolutionized the way that pure water is produced, stored and distributed. Instead of a traditionally engineered central lab system, comprising of an untidy grouping of components and pipework, you can now have just one integrated system box.
The CENTRA-R60 and CENTRA-R120 are complete water purification, storage, control and distribution systems delivering up to 120 liters per hour of water which has been purified using reverse osmosis, UV photo-oxidization, optional deionization and 0.2 μm filtration.
The CENTRA R60 and CENTRA R120 provides Type II and Type III water to feed large washers, ultrapure water purification systems and dispense points for general laboratory applications. They can deliver up to 120 liters per hour of water which have been purified using a range of technologies.
"We had been spending a lot on consumables from point of use systems across our laboratory. It took our time to replace consumables regularly too which impacted on our workflow. By having a centralised system we removed all of those issues, it has made our lab so much more productive."

* specifications for CENTRA fitted with UV and optional deionization and microfilter.
Without the deionization cartridge, the CENTRA will provide RO, permeate-grade III water with greater than 95% rejections of organics. TVC levels will typically be less than 5 CFU/ml and TOC less than 100 ppb. With the microfilter, TVC will fall typically to less than 1 CFU/ml and there will be particle removal to 0.2 um. specifications are for a system fed with a suitable water supply and installed, operated and sanitized according to the operator manuals.
Consumables
Weakly bound ions are released back into the water reducing resistivity
Reduced flow-rates and bacterial specification will not be maintained
Increase in airborne contaminants and potential recontamination of purified water
High levels of organics and inorganics remain in the water reducing the functional life of the DI pack
Chlorine, chloarmine and organics remain, increasing the burden on downstream consumables which will need more frequent and expensive changes
Chlorine, chloarmine and organics remain, increasing the burden on downstream consumables which will need more frequent and expensive changes
Uncontrolled bacterial contamination and TOC levels are not reduced

faqs
- What is the CENTRA Product range?
The CENTRA is ELGA's centralised distribution system for laboratories to feed multiple polishers.
- What is the CENTRA 60/120?
The CENTRA 60/120 takes tap water and purifies it to meet your needs up to type 2 water with a 50 meter distribution loop. Scalable to meet your water quality needs with optional consumables, the CENTRA R200 offers RO water as standard but can have added filtration and UV to improve water quality.
- Why optional consumables?
Not every laboratory application requires the same qualities of water. The scalability of the CENTRA means you do not have to pay for levels of purification which you do not need.
- My Laboratory space is at a premium, how can I fit a product which produces 120L/hr into my lab?
The Centra 60/120 has a space saving design which allows it to be fitted in under the bench to keep your laboratory clear for your science.

Protecting Clinical Output from Water Risks
When lives are at stake, there is no margin for error. Your clinical analyser must receive a constant and reliable supply of CLRW* water, regardless of the quality of the feedwater available. Download our whitepaper to learn more.
