About Distilled Water
What is Distilled Water?
Distilled water is a type of purified water that has undergone a process called distillation to remove impurities and contaminants. Distillation involves heating water to create steam, which is then condensed and collected as pure water in a separate container.
Here are some key points about distilled water:
1). Purification Process: Distillation is a method of water purification that separates water from impurities such as minerals, chemicals, bacteria, and viruses. The process relies on the differences in boiling points between water and other substances. As the water is heated, it vaporizes, leaving behind impurities. The vapor is then cooled and condensed back into a liquid form, resulting in pure, distilled water.
2). Removal of Contaminants: Distillation effectively removes various impurities from water, including heavy metals, dissolved solids, organic compounds, and microorganisms. It is particularly effective in eliminating minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and fluoride, which are commonly found in tap water and can contribute to scale buildup or affect the taste of water.
3). Purity and Consistency: Distilled water is considered one of the purest forms of water because the distillation process removes the majority of impurities, leaving behind only H2O molecules. It is free from minerals, chemicals, and biological contaminants that may be present in untreated or tap water. Distilled water has a consistent composition and does not contain any additional substances.
4). Uses: Distilled water has various applications in industries and everyday life. It is commonly used in laboratories, medical facilities, and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, where the absence of impurities is crucial. Distilled water is also used in steam irons, humidifiers, automotive batteries, and certain household appliances to prevent mineral buildup and ensure their proper functioning. Additionally, some people choose to consume distilled water for drinking purposes, although it should be noted that the distillation process also removes beneficial minerals that are naturally present in water.
5). Storage and Shelf Life: Distilled water should be stored in clean, sterile containers to maintain its purity. It does not contain any preservatives or disinfectants, so proper storage is important to prevent bacterial contamination. If stored correctly in sealed containers, distilled water has an indefinite shelf life.
6). Considerations: While distilled water is generally safe for consumption and use, it lacks minerals that are essential for human health. Some individuals who rely solely on distilled water for drinking may need to obtain essential minerals from other dietary sources. It’s also worth noting that the taste of distilled water is often described as flat or bland due to the absence of minerals that contribute to the taste of water.
Overall, distilled water is a purified form of water obtained through the distillation process. It is free from impurities and commonly used in various industries and applications that require high levels of purity and consistency.
Trade Process
Our trade process spreads across CIF, FOB, TTO, and TTT, depending on the buyer’s preference.
Here’s what they entail:
1). Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF): Here, the seller will handle everything from loading the vessel, paying for insurance, and sending the product to wherever the buyer wants it delivered.
2). Freight On Board (FOB): Here, the seller pays for the transportation of the goods to the port of shipment, plus loading costs, while the buyer pays the cost of marine freight transport, insurance, unloading, and transportation from the originating port to the final destination.
3). Tanker Take Over (TTO): Here, the buyer will take over the vessel, offload the product at their destination, and return it.
4). Tanker To Tanker (TTT): Here, the buyer uses their own vessel, long sides with the seller’s vessel, and then the cargo is transshipped when the transaction is fully settled.
