“Multiple-effect” (ME)
gets its 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. For example, the Norland500
with six boiling chambers, distills
six gallons of water for the approximate
cost of distilling one gallon of water
in a typical chamber system. Similarly,
the Norland 120 uses four boiling chambers,
so it’s four times more efficient
than a single-chamber system. In short,
the more chambers used, the more efficient
the system.

Features:
• Effectively produces water
with purity of less than 2 ppm TDS.
• Durable and Dependable - no
moving parts such as floats, motors,
compressors, etc to wear out. Constructed
primarily of type 304 Stainless Steel.
• Easy to Install - (only one
electrical connection and three water
connections)
• Easy to operate - (built in
fail-safe controls - surge protection
is standard)
• Self-Cleaning - (when feed water
contains less than 1 ppm of hardness
and chlorine. If not, a dual alternating
tank water softener and commercial,
activated-carbon pre-filter are required)
• Easy to monitor - with see-through
panel for instant visual inspection.
• Multiple-stage volatile gas
venting provides maximum water purity.
