Clean steam is generated from water that has been purified through either Reverse Osmosis (RO) or Deionization (DI). Common applications for clean steam include sanitization of surfaces and equipment that do not come into direct contact with sterile products, and air humidification in clean rooms.
Pure steam is also generated from RO/DI water. The purified water is evaporated, and the resulting steam passes through a separation device that removes any remaining moisture or contaminants. The resulting pure steam meets U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for Water for Injection (WFI). Common applications for pure steam include sterilization of pharmaceutical products, as well as contact surfaces and equipment used in the pharmaceutical production process.
Yes, both our electric and steam-to-steam pure and clean steam generators can be directly integrated into any of our cGMP autoclaves and Sterilab laboratory autoclaves.
This integration allows the generator to serve as a dedicated pure steam source and provides full control of steam quality, pressure, and temperature directly from the sterilizer’s PLC control system.
BMT USA pure and clean steam generators require reverse osmosis (RO) or deionized (DI) water as feedwater. Using properly treated feedwater not only ensures the steam is free from minerals and contaminants but also prevents corrosion or rusting of internal piping and components.
The incoming feedwater pressure must be at least 10 psig higher than the desired outlet pure or clean steam pressure to ensure proper operation and stable steam generation. This pressure differential allows the feedwater to enter the heat exchanger efficiently and maintain consistent steam output. If the feedwater supply pressure is too low, additional feed pumps or pressure regulation may be required to achieve optimal performance.
Pure and clean steam generators are commonly used in applications where cleanliness and sterility are critical, such as biotech, pharmaceuticals, laboratory research, and food and beverage processing. In these settings, pure or clean steam is used to sterilize equipment, piping, containers, and materials without leaving behind any residues or contaminates that could compromise product safety or integrity.
For example, in pharmaceutical manufacturing, pure steam is used to sterilize critical components such as syringes, vials, and product contact surfaces. Similarly, in food processing, clean steam is used for direct injection into products or for sterilizing production lines and containers, ensuring no unwanted substances are introduced into the final product.
Yes. BMT USA steam generators can be set up in lead/lag or duty/standby configurations to supply multiple sterilizers, SIP systems, or other equipment that depend on pure or clean steam. These configurations help ensure reliable performance, steady steam pressure, and efficient operation, even during periods of high demand.
Yes. BMT USA offers pure and clean steam generators in a wide range of capacities, from small laboratory-scale units to high-volume systems designed to deliver steam to multiple autoclaves or production areas. Each system can be customized to meet your facility’s steam demand, available utilities and installation layout.
Yes, all BMT USA steam generators come with a standard one-year warranty covering parts and labor. Extended warranties and service plans are also available to provide added protection and support long-term performance.
