EDI

Refining technique that achieves ultrapure water by combining ion exchange with electrodialysis.

With EDI, an exchange resin is introduced into the compartments between the membranes of the electrodialysis cells. The ion exchange resin minimizes ion leakage typical of ion exchange, eliminating the requirement of regenerants, with a consequent reduction in the use of chemicals.

APPLICATIONS

  • Water Potabilization
  • Obtaining high quality demineralized water in different sectors
    (energy, food, pharmaceutical, among others)
  • Wastewater treatment

ADVANTAGES

Some of the advantages of EDI over conventional ion exchange systems are:

  • Some of the advantages of EDI over conventional ion exchange systems are:
  • Simple and continuous operation
  • Elimination of chemical use in regeneration
  • Low energy consumption
  • Takes up less space
  • Produces consistent water quality with fluctuations in flow
  • Non-polluting, safe, and reliable: no handling of chemicals, no hazardous effluents, no resins are dumped
