How Steam Distillation Works Steam distillation kills harmful bacteria and viruses, removes virtually all foreign particles, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, chlorine and most volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Water is heated in a chamber and turned into vapor (steam). This water vapor rises leaving impurities behind in the boiling chamber. The purified vapor then enters a condenser where it is cooled and returned to the liquid state.  1 Ordinary tap water is heated to 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), killing bacteria, cysts and viruses by continuous boiling. 2 Steam rises leaving behind dissolved solids, salts, heavy metals and other substances. 3 Low boiling light gases are vented. 4 Steam is condensed in a stainless steel coil. 5 Distilled water then percolates through a coconut shell carbon filter, enhancing quality by adsorption of VOCs. 6 The purified drinking water is collected and stored. Quality distillers are designed to remove light gases by venting and special carbon post filter treatment. Unlike simple water filtration, bacteria growth is virtually nonexistent since water is passed through a natural coconut shell carbon only after it has been steam distilled. Thus, any bacteria that was previously in the water has been killed and left behind by the distillation process. |
