Electrodialysis
DESCRIPTION

Electrodialysis (ED)Electrodialysis (ED) systems separate ionic species from aqueous solutions using an applied direct current potential across ion-permeable and selective membranes. A unique feature of Exergy’s ED systems is the ED cell frame, which is optimized to provide high separation performance. The cell design is based upon an integrated spacer system and provides a high internal and external density of membrane stacks. The ED cell features patented “leak-free” modules. Each ED cell has a thickness of only 0.5 mm, which provides superior performance to conventional ED systems. The ED membrane stacks operated in a serial mode achieve high desalting rates. The ED membrane stacks operated in a parallel mode provide high capacity.


FEATURES

     ▪ High efficiency cells
     ▪ High membrane packing density, thin cells
     ▪ Low voltage
