Advantages/Disadvantages Water Distillers

What are the advantages of distillers?

Distillers remove almost all of the impurities found in water, produce sodium free water, and are relatively easy to maintain. Most distillers are mechanically simple.

What are the disadvantages of distillers?

Distillers have small capacities and use considerable energy to process water. Because of the small capacities, distillers are limited to point-of-use systems. Distillers without gas vents, fractional columns, or ACF units will not remove VOCs. Heat generated by a distiller must be dissipated into the surrounding environment.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED: This is the case with any water purification systems, and AFC, gas vents, and fractional columns cannot remove VOC’s iether individually, or in combination. Distillation (in combination with VOC removal devices) is the process used in laboratory studies where the need for the purest form of water is neccassary.
