The production of ultrapure water uses a combination of membrane separation and ion exchange processes. EDI is a process that combines semi-permeable membrane technology with ion exchange to provide a highly efficient demineralisation process. Unlike traditional ion exchange systems, an EDI system does not require chemicals.
Electro Deionisation (EDI) is a technique for producing demineralised (demi water) / Ultra Pure Water (UPW) and consists of a combination of membrane filtration and an ion exchange unit. The EDI process produces industrial process water of very high purity, using less than 95% of the chemicals used in conventional ion exchange processes. With the EDI system, membranes and electricity replace the large amounts of litres of acid and base chemicals that the old processes required on a daily basis.
By passing a direct voltage through the EDI module, the ions in the water supply are transported along the surface of the ion exchange resin to the ion-selective membrane. Ions pass through the membrane and reach the barrier chamber. Here they are removed. All that remains is demineralised water.
Direct current divides water into H+ and OH- ions. These then regenerate the ion exchange resin. Since the selective membrane only allows ions to pass through, a small part (5%) of the water supply is used to remove the ions from the barrier chamber in the concentrated flow.
As an alternative to traditional ion exchange processes, EDI brings advances in both the energy and operating costs of water treatment and purification technologies. Environmental benefits are also realised by avoiding and removing acidic and caustic chemicals brought into the field by eliminating the regular regeneration requirements for ion exchange resins.
Grünbeck EDI systems have many important features and benefits, including:
EDI also has disadvantages, namely:
EDI systems offer a wide range of benefits. These include high water efficiency and very pure water without the use of chemicals.
