Purification Systems Pure Water: Choice of five production capacities

Thermo Scientific Barnstead Mega-Pure Glass Stills effectively remove inorganic

solids, organics with boiling points higher than water, bacteria, and pyrogens. The
stills are constructed of non-leaching components to ensure high purity water.

Product Features:
• Contact with only glass, quartz, and Teflon® components ensures ultimate purity and
eliminates cross-contamination.
• Choice of five production capacities.
• Units are easily wall- or bench-mounted.
• Vertical condenser design provides maximum purity.
• High temperature cut-off shuts down the still if the temperature is too high,
preventing heating element burnout.
• Quick release cover provides easy cleaning access.
• Connection to Automatic Collection System (ACS) assures a 24-hour automatic system.
• Includes feed water solenoid valve for automatic operation.
• Produces water with a resistivity of 1-10 MΩ-cm, depending on feed water purity.

Distillation 101
Distillation has the broadest capabilities of any single form of water purification
Distillation effectively removes most inorganic solids, all organics with a boiling point greater than water (100°C / 212°F),
all bacteria and pyrogens. Gases and low molecular weight organics are not effectively removed by distillation.

Thermo Scientific Barnstead products include a Still Components

broad range of stills A still includes a boiling chamber (boiler), electric or steam
Our stills range in size from 1.4 to 38 LPH. Select from stills immersion heaters, pyrogen reducing baffle, condenser,
constructed of tin or glass. Many models offer fully constant level device and low water cutoff. Options include
automatic options or pretreatment options to minimize scaling. pretreatment solutions and fully automatic controls that allow
stills to work automatically with pretreated feed water and a
storage reservoir.

Step-By-Step Technologies Used

in Distillation Systems

1 Feed water enters the still through

the Cooling Water/Feed Water Inlet. 6
As the water passes through the Inlet,
it becomes a warmed as it makes its
way to the boiler. It in turn cools the 4
vapor entering the condenser.

2 Water flows from the condenser into

the constant level device, then into
the boiler. 1 2

3 The water in the boiler is heated. 5

Impurities with a boiling point higher
than water (100°C / 212°F) remain in
the boiler, while water and impurities
with a boiling point equal to or lower
than water are converted to water
vapor. The pure vapor moves up the
boiler through a pyrogens-reducing
baffle and into the condenser.

4 In the condenser, the pure vapor 3

is transported through the condenser
where it contacts tubes or coils
containing cooling water. The pure
vapor contacts these tubes and
coils and is condensed to produce
pure water.

5 The distilled water exits the condenser

and is stored in a reservoir through
the Distilled Water Outlet.

6 Atmospheric vent allows for volatile

contaminants to be vented, increasing
the purity of the distilled water.
