IF
YOUR DISTILLED WATER NEEDS ARE NOT IN THE 800-6000 GALLON PER DAY RANGE
AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE VAPOR COMPRESSION SECTION(HERE),
YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER SMALLER WATER DISTILLATION SYSTEMS WHICH USE
A "MULTIPLE EFFECT" DISTILLATION PROCESS:
75,
120 OR 500 GALLONS PER 24 HOURS
"Multiple-effect"
distillation gets it's name from the fact that more than one boiling
chamber or "effect" is used to produce distilled water. With
multiple-effect technology, the heat energy contained in the steam generated
in the first boiling chamber is reused to boil more water in subsequent
boiling chambers. This recycling of energy provides the energy saving
feature of multiple-effect distillation.
The multiple-effect
distillation systems use more than one boiling chamber ("effect")
in the distillation proccss.
For example,
the Model 500 with six boiling chambers, distills six gallons of water
for the approximate cost of distilling one gallon of water in a typical
single-chamber system. Similarly, the Model 120 uses four boiling chambers,
so it is four times more efficient than a single-chamber system. In
short. the more chambers used, the more eflicient the system.
FEATURES
OF THE MULTIPLE-EFFECT DISTILLATION SYSTEMS
- Effective
producing water with purity of less than 2 ppm TDS.
- Economical
and efficient. Multiple-effect process cuts operating costs by one-half
(Model 75) to one-sixth (Model 500).
- Durable
and dependable. No moving parts, such as floats, motors or compressors
to wear out.
- Constructed
primarily of type 304 and 316 stainless steel.
- Easy
to install: only one electrical and three water connections are required.
- Easy
to operate, with built-in fail-safe controls. If feed water flow is
interrupted, the low-water shutdown will stop system operation until
the proper amount of feed water is again available. Electrical surge
protection is standard equipment.
- Self-cleaning,
if system is operated on water containing less than 1.0 ppm of hardness
and chlorine. A dual alternating tank water softener and commercial
activated carbon prefilter are required.
- Easy
to monitor, with see-through panel for instant checking of system
operation at a glance. Sight glasses and indicator lamps make each
system even easier to use.
- Water
Purity Monitor designed to divert distilled water below preset purity
level. Ensures that water for bottling or other application(i.e. Water
Store) is always at acceptable purity levels
