YOU CAN PRODUCE THE EQUIVALENT OF DISTILLED WATER IN YOUR O W N PLANT . . . AND SAVE UP TO 95% IN COSTII

Cochrane Demineralizers Deliver Min­eral-Free Effluent at a Mere Fraction of the Cost of Commercially Distilled Water.

If you are using distilled water in the manufacture of your product, take a good look at the advantages offered by Cochrane Demineralizers. This compact apparatus

froduces water the equivalent of pure istillate for commercialpurposes at a figure

actually as much as 95% less than the cost of distilled water.

Fundamentally, the Cochrane method of demineralizing water is simply the applica­tion of established principles of water soften­ing chemistry. However, instead of merely converting an objectionable substance to a harmless one, the Cochrane Demineralizcr goes a step further and completely removes salts. The product of the demineralizing

process is a crystal clear, completely pure effluent — the equivalent of commercially distilled water in every respect.

Cost-conscious companies in the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Electrical, and many other industries normally using distilled water, are discovering the money saving advantages of producing their own mineral-free water with a Cochrane Demineralizcr installation. The complete storjr of the Cochrane De-mineralizer is told in detail in Publication 4181. Write for your copy today.
