At the heart of many dental infection control products is water purity. The installation of a new reverse osmosis (RO) water system within the manufacturing facility of Topdental marks a significant step forward in both product quality and sustainable production. As infection control standards continue to tighten across the dental sector, the role of purified water has never been more critical. This investment reflects a clear commitment to excellence.
Cutting Edge
The brand-new system is the first of its kind in the UK in the dental and healthcare industry. Developed by UK water treatment specialists Salinity Solutions and global leader in environmental services Veolia.
Reverse osmosis systems remove dissolved solids, contaminants, and microorganisms from incoming feed water. This produces highly purified water that is essential for applications such as instrument cleaning and surface disinfection. Within dental and other healthcare environments, impurities can compromise the effectiveness of decontamination processes or lead to biofilm formation within equipment.
Topdental’s product range includes wet wipes and cleaning / disinfection solutions designed to specifically target found micro-organisms commonly found in dental and medical environments.
Ultimate Control
By integrating advanced RO technology directly into the in-house manufacturing process, Topdental ensures that every product is developed using water that meets the highest possible standards of cleanliness and consistency. What makes this installation particularly impactful is the level of control it brings in-house.
Rather than relying on older inefficient technology or externally sourced purified water, the new system allows Topdental to manage water quality at every stage of production. This not only improves traceability and compliance but also enhances operational reliability.
In-house generation eliminates variability, reduces dependency on supply chains, and ensures that production can continue uninterrupted.
This is an increasingly important factor in today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment.
The system itself is powered by Salinity Solutions’ innovative HyBatch reverse osmosis technology, designed to dramatically outperform conventional systems.
Next Generation
Traditional RO processes are known for their high energy consumption, chemical use and significant water waste.
In contrast, this next-generation approach has
- Reduced energy usage by up to 30%
- Achieved water recovery rates as high as 95%,
- Produces up to 84% less wastewater.
It has also completely eliminated the need for a chemical water softner without reducing microbiological perfromance. These efficiencies translate directly into lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint which are both key priorities Topdental.
Managing Director Liz Hansell commented; Ultimately, the installation of this advanced RO system is about more than just water, it’s about quality, control, and sustainability. By investing in cutting-edge purification technology, Topdental is reinforcing its commitment to delivering reliable infection control solutions while reducing its environmental impact.
Sustainability
From a sustainability perspective, the benefits are substantial. Lower energy consumption means reduced carbon emissions, while higher water recovery minimises waste and supports responsible resource management. For a manufacturing plant producing infection control products at scale, these improvements represent a fundamental shift towards greener production practices.
In an industry where precision and hygiene are paramount, having complete confidence in every element of the manufacturing process, including water, makes all the difference.
