Comparison of the Environmental Impact of an Elix 3 Water Purification System with a Distillation Apparatus

Millipore Lab Water has developed and adopted water purification technologies that reduce energy and water consumption in comparison with methods such as distillation. The study presented here compares the environmental effects of an Elix® 3 (Millipore) water purification system and a distillation system, operated in the United States. A brief financial analysis also highlights the saving resulting from the reduced water and energy consumption of the Elix.
