Vertical Water Still
Product Specification Sheet
Vertical Water Still
Model Number: MTWS-01
The Vertical Water Still from Micro Technologies is a laboratory water distillation system designed for producing high-quality distilled and pyrogen-free water for suitable laboratory applications. Based on a vertical glass assembly with an N.P.L.-type design, the unit is available in single-stage and double-stage configurations with output capacities of approximately 3, 5 and 10 litres per hour.
Product Specification
The Vertical Water Still is designed for laboratory applications requiring a continuous source of distilled water for analytical, research, testing and general laboratory procedures.
The unit incorporates a vertical glass assembly based on an N.P.L.-type design. Its compact vertical arrangement helps utilize laboratory space efficiently while providing a practical water-distillation setup.
An inbuilt bottom heater provides the heat required to boil the feed water. The generated steam passes through the glass distillation assembly, where it is condensed and collected as distilled water.
The system is designed for producing pyrogen-free distilled water under appropriate operating conditions, making it suitable for applications requiring purified laboratory water.
Depending on purification requirements, the Water Still is available in single-stage and double-stage models. The single-stage model performs one distillation cycle, while the double-stage configuration provides a second distillation stage for applications requiring enhanced purity.
Output capacities of 3 litres/hour, 5 litres/hour and 10 litres/hour are available, enabling laboratories to select the appropriate configuration according to their daily distilled-water requirement.
A low-water cut-off device is provided to improve operational safety by helping protect the heating system when an inadequate water level is detected.

Working Principle
Water Heating
Feed water enters the distillation system and is heated using the inbuilt bottom heater until steam is generated.
Steam Generation
As the water reaches boiling conditions, water vapour rises through the vertical glass assembly while many non-volatile impurities remain behind.
Condensation
The generated vapour enters the condenser section, where cooling water removes heat and converts the vapour back into liquid.
Distilled Water Collection
The condensed purified water is collected through the outlet for suitable laboratory use.
Double Distillation
In the double-stage configuration, the distilled water undergoes an additional distillation stage to provide enhanced purification compared with a single-stage process.
Single Stage Water Still
Single Distillation Process
The single-stage model performs one complete evaporation and condensation cycle. It is suitable for routine laboratory distilled-water requirements where single-stage purification meets the intended application.
Double Stage Water Still
Double Distillation Process
The double-stage model performs an additional distillation cycle, making it suitable for applications requiring a higher degree of water purity.
Safety Features
Low-Water Cut-Off Device
The integrated low-water cut-off system helps protect the heating element by interrupting or controlling operation when insufficient water is available.
Inbuilt Heating Arrangement
The bottom-heater arrangement provides direct and convenient heating for efficient steam generation during the distillation process.
