  • Publication number: 20200360587
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing a medical solution and preferably a dialysis concentrate solution that has a fluid system having a main circuit and a branch section in communication therewith, wherein the main circuit is a circuit in which a pump and a product container are arranged and in which liquid can be circulated by operating the pump; and wherein a raw material container can be connected in the branch section; wherein the branch section comprises a suction line that leads from the raw material container to be connected to a suction unit of the main circuit; wherein the suction unit is configured to suck in liquid together with raw material not yet dissolved from the suction line and to introduce it into a liquid flowing through the main circuit; and wherein a fine mixing chamber that has two connectors and one retention element arranged between the connectors for undissolved raw material is furthermore arranged between the suction unit and the product container.

  • Patent number: 10159939
    Abstract: A method is provided for sanitizing a reverse osmosis system to supply high-purity permeate. Included in the method is supplying raw water to a feed tank and to a filter module using a raw-water inlet line having an inlet valve. A primary circuit is provided, and has a first pump connected to the filter module. A secondary circuit is provided, and has a second pump and a heater, both of which are connected to the filter module. The primary circuit is separated from the secondary circuit using a semipermeable membrane disposed in the filter module. The secondary circuit of the reverse osmosis system is cleaned or disinfected while the raw-water inlet line is in a disconnected state and the inlet valve is in a closed state using the second pump and the heater.
