Electro-de-ionization (EDI)
Process of Electrodeionization
The EDI design combines two well-established water purification technologies electrodialysis and ion-exchange resin deionization.
Through this revolutionary technique, dissolved salts can be removed with low energy cost and without the need for chemical regeneration; the result is high-quality pure water of multi-M_.cm resistivity which can be produced continuously at substantial flow rates.
EDI removes ions from water by forcing them out of the feed stream into adjacent streams via an electric potential. The resins operate in steady state; they act not as an ion reservoir but as an ion conduit.
Benefits of EDI
- The primary environmental and economic benefit of EDI is the elimination of the use of resin regeneration chemicals
- The primary quality benefit of EDI is the continuous process eliminates spikes and upsets.
- EDI Produces Ultrapure Water up to 18.1 Megohm
- EDI enables a Simple System (no concentrate recirculation)
- No Regeneration Chemicals Required
- Compact, Lightweight.
- Consistent and predictable results
- Continuous, simple operation (no DI batch changes)
- EDI is cost effective
- No hazardous waste (and cost associated)
- No regeneration chemicals (and cost and risk)
- Reduced facility requirements
