Sustainability Benefits of Eilersen Calibration Technology:
Cost and Environmental Savings Compared to Traditional WFI
Tired of the high costs and environmental impact associated with the consumption of Water for Injection (WFI) when calibrating weighing systems? Discover how Eilersen calibration technology, specifically the EilerCal™ system, offers a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for your pharmaceutical and biotech tank scale calibration needs.
The High Cost of Water for Injection (WFI)
WFI is essential in processes where sterility and cleanliness are critical, but it is expensive. The cost of WFI can range between 50 cents and 1 EUR[^1]. For example, filling a 50,000-liter vessel with WFI for calibration purposes can cost between EUR 25,000 and EUR 50,000. This cost is incurred every time the vessel is filled and calibrated. Furthermore, companies often perform two to three calibrations annually, leading to even greater expense, along with substantial water waste.
EilerCal ™ Technology: Significant Cost and Resource Savings
With Eilersen’s EilerCal technology, there is no need to fill large vessels with WFI for calibration. This alone offers an immediate cost saving of approx. EUR 50,000 [^1] per calibration for a 50,000-liter vessel. For companies conducting multiple calibrations, these savings can multiply, amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros annually.
Here’s how the estimate savings break down:
Cost of WFI per calibration: EUR 50,000 for 50,000 litres at EUR 1.00 per litre [^1].
Multiple calibrations: If two to three calibrations are performed annually, this results in potential annual savings of EUR 100,000 to EUR 150,000, just on WFI alone.
