Normandy's Patent Marine Aerated Fresh Water Co

of Victoria Dock Road, London E

1858 'Conversion of salt Water into fresh Water. A machine, constructed upon Dr. Normandy's principle, for the purpose of converting salt water into fresh water, has been tried this week on board the Sphynx, lying in the steam basin at Portsmouth. On Tuesday the apparatus was worked in the presence of the dockyard authorities, and water produced from the machine was tasted by several gentlemen present, and pronounced to be very palatable. The machine, which is now in the hands of "Normandy's Patent Marine Aerated Fresh Water Company," is stated to have the following advantages ....'

1883 Engineering and Metal Trades' Exhibition: 'No. 31 in the same row is the stand of Normandy's Patent Marine Aerated Fresh-water Company, whose works our readers will often have noticed opposite the Custom House Station, Victoria Docks. This Company claims to produce good cold drinking water from sea-water in a most economical manner. Instead of losing the entire heat of the condensed steam as is done in the ordinary process, this local patent is said to use over again the beat liberated by one or more successive condensations of steam, thereby increasing the amount of distilled water to 1 3/4 and sometimes 2 1/4 times the water evaporated by the boiler. The absence of air to which the vapidness of ordinary boiled water is due, is obviated by aeration in the process of condensation. Every taint of organic matter is removed by thorough filtration, and we hear that water distilled by this process is used for scientific and pathological purposes in which absolute freedom from organic matter is of the greatest moment. Testimonials from such authorities as Dr. Noad, F.R.S., of St. George's Hospital, and Dr. Letheby, of the London Hospital Medical College, more than justify us in calling special attention to this exhibit.'
