DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PURE STEAM & CLEAN STEAM
Although steam generation methods are fairly similar, not all steam is created equal.
Where high-quality steam with no chemicals or additives is necessary, care must be taken to create pure or clean steam.
These types of steam are commonly used in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industries. This is because many of their applications, such as sanitation, do not allow for conventional steam. Rust, debris, and chemicals in conventional steam have the potential to produce contaminants in the steam.
Pure steam and clean steam have three common factors:
They do not contain additives – additives and chemicals can compromise the quality and purity of the steam.
They use a steam generator built specifically to produce this type of steam. It is not used for other applications.
Use specific water types – Depending on the intended use, these steam types use purified water, highly purified water, or water for injection.
