2. PRODUCTDESCRIPTION
TheElgastatOption 4 waterpurificationunithasbeenspecificallydesigned to producepurified
waterequivalent in quality to waterprepared by distillation but without the highenergycosts
associatedwithdistillation.
Thehighelectricalrunningcostsnecessitated bythe phasechangewhichtakesplaceduring
distillation has longbeenrecognized asa major, ifnot sometimeshiddendisadvantage of
usingthistechnique forthe production of purifiedwater.Additionallypretreatment is often
required to protect the stillfromscaling.
TheElgastatOption 4 wasdesignedwiththesepoints in mindandachievesbetterwaterquality
than is availablefromdistillationequipmentwhile atthe sametimerequiring no energy
requirement inthe form of heating. The latestmembranetechnology is employed to separate
impuritiesfromwater andthe drivingforce for thisprocess isthe pressureavailable inthe
mainssupply.
Fig1 showstheexternalfeaturesvisible tothe user.Access tothe waterpurificationcartridges
isviatheremovablerightandlefthandcovers,and the electronicsandultravioletlamphousing
is viathe frontcover. <•
Twoversions ofthe ElgastatOption 4 havebeendesignedwithnominalflowrates of4 or8
litres/hr(similar to traditionalstills) and these canbe bench,shelf or wallmountedwith the
additionalfeaturethat the purifiedwater is producedunderpressurethus not requiring the
gravitycollectionrequired by stills.
Brieflywithin the Option 4 unitthere isan inletsolenoidvalvewhichcontrols the flow of mains
feedwater tothe Pre-treatmentcartridge and either oneortwo ReverseOsmosis (RO)
cartridges. TheRO 'permeate'(partiallypurifiedwater)thenleaves the unit viathe' outlet
connector andis collected inthe storagetank.
TheOption 4 unit is designed tobe operatedwith a treatedwaterstoragetank, andto ensure
thequality ofthe waterwithin the storagetank is maintained atits highestlevels, the water
from the tank is drawnbackinto the Option 4 unit (byan inbuiltrecirculationpump),
continuouslyrecirculatedthrough theDl cartridgepack andUV chamberprior tobei!
returned tothe storagetank viathe unit'soutletconnector. V
Dispensing ofthe purifiedwaterfrom the Option 4 isviathe dispense tap(seefig1)andcan
bedispensed at flowrates upto30l/hr.An optionalPoint-of-use0.2jumbacterialfilter canbe
fitted tothe dispense tapfor addedprotection.ReferSection 7.5and9.0.
Thewaterqualityproduced bythe Option 4 is continuouslymonitored and displayed onthe
faciapanel ofthe unit.
Typicallywaterfrom the ElgastatOption 4 isofa higherqualitythanthat of bothsingle and
doublepassdistillation andin accordancewithBS3978:1987type 2 "water for laboratory-use"
@aflowrateof-30l/hr.,-^St
TheElgastatoption4 representsa costeffectiveimprovementintheproductionofpurified
watercomparedtotraditionaldistillation.
