OperatingPrinciples
EndotoxinReduction:
Auniqueandcarefuldesignofthedecontaminationchamberallows
the highest performances in terms of endotoxin content reduction.
The gravitational separation system is a simple and extremely
effectiveprocessfortheseparationofcontaminants.

Auniqueandcarefuldesignofthedecontaminationchamberallows
Stilmas to guarantee the highest standards of endotoxin reduction.
Feedwater spiked to artificially high endotoxins levels was used to
demonstrateitscapabilityofreducingendotoxinsfrom2500Eu/mlto
0.25(Log4)

MultipleEffectDesign:
Each effect consists of a tube heat exchanger on top and a
decontamination chamber below joined by a flanged connection
which also has the function of support allowing the column to
expandwithoutrestraint.

ConstructionCharacteristics
The multiple effect still is made completely of AISI 316L
stainless steel. Supporting frame is epoxycoated carbon
steelasstandard(AISI304option)
The standard finishing of the active surface is pickled and
passivated. Mirror polishing to 0.6Ra is optionally
available,asiselectropolishing.
Heat exchangers and condensers are shell and tube type,
double tube sheet is used where contamination of the
distillateispossible

TheinnovativeMSStillCOMBIintegratesaMultipleEffectStill
and Pure Steam Generator into one system allowing for the
possibilityofsimultaneousproductionofWFIandPureSteamin
differentcapacitiesandratios.

The first column of the COMBI unit is a Stilmas thermo

syphoning PSG generating pure steam at a constant pressure.
ThefollowingcolumnsarethoseofastandardStilmasstill,with
thin falling film evaporators. The PSG is sized to always meet
the steady demand of the multiple WFI effects, plus the
additional fluctuating demand for pure steam. Pure steam
consumptiondoesnotdetractfromWFIoutput

Options/AdvantagesofMSStillCOMBI
Allconventionalmultieffectstillscanbebuilttosupplyaround
athirdoftheirratedoutputaspuresteamfromthefirststage,
with no WFI produced at this time. Where more steam is
needed, the first column can be simply a larger version of the
rest of the columns. This is adequate for steady state steam
demands; however the instant boiler technology used runs
properlyonlyintherange75%100%ofitsmaxratedcapacity;
even within this range pure steam output pressure cannot be
guaranteed.
TheadvantagesoftheStilmasCOMBIunitstemfromtheuseofa
responsive thermosyphon boiler as the first (steamgenerating)
stage.Thisoffersafarwiderrangeofpuresteamoutputlevelsat
therequiredpressure.
Additionally, combined units using instant boiler first stages
must use a full feed water feeding unit to achieve inner pipe
wetting. This is sufficient when WFI is being produced but not
sufficientduringtheproductionofpuresteam.
