Peace of mind, ease of use Planet-friendly, clean technology • Consistent water quality. • High resistance to scaling ensures high Elix® module reliability. • Designed to provide pure water for compliance with industry standards. • No reliance on third parties to supply regenerated ion-exchange resins. • Minimal use of disposable purification cartridges limits waste. • Reduced electricity consumption: Elix® Advantage systems use up to 200 times less energy than conventional distillation equipment. • No need for the strong bases and acids used to regenerate resins or clean still boilers. • additional...

INSIDE THE ELIX® ADVANTAGE SYSTEM 10 COMPLEMENTARY PURIFICATION STEPS The purification sequence for the new Elix® Advantage system is based on purification steps that complement one another and optimize the benefits of each technology.

Major benefits: The Progard® pretreatment pack contains silverimpregnated activated carbon, which prevents the proliferation of bacteria present in tap water; antiscaling compounds; and a prefi lter to efficiently protect the RO membrane against oxidation, scaling and plugging. • High water recovery: Part of the RO reject water is recycled back to the RO membrane feed water stream. Water recovery can be adjusted up to 50 % to optimize water consumption, depending on the feed water quality and the pretreatment sequence used. • Constant product flow rate: Standard RO-based systems typically undergo...

Elix® electrodeionization benefits Polyethylene reservoirs guarantee the purity of your stored water • Consistent high quality water: Resins do not degrade, as they are not exposed to harsh regeneration chemicals or removed from the system. • Minimal electricity consumption: The Elix® module uses the equivalent of the energy required by an electric light bulb. • Uninterrupted water production: Continuously regenerated ionexchange resins eliminate hazardous chemical regeneration or costly resin replacement. Pure water requires a storage system that prevents degradation of your water quality. Merck...

OPTIMIZED RECIRCULATION LOOP Automatic recirculation Optimum water quality at the point-of-use At regular intervals, the stored purified water is recirculated and sanitized by a UV lamp in order to minimize bacterial growth in the storage reservoir. Before delivery, pure water from the Elix® Advantage system is again sanitized by a UV lamp and then filtered through a 0.22 μm final filter at the dispensing point. This reduces the bacterial count to less than 0.1 cfu/ml to provide optimum water quality for bacteria-sensitive applications. 20 E-POD® UNITS FOR CUSTOMIZED PURE WATER DELIVERY Customized,...
