EDI (Electrodeionization)

EDI Water Treatment System for Ultrapure Water

Product Overview

Electrodeionization (EDI) is a continuous, chemical-free water purification technology that combines ion exchange resins, ion exchange membranes, and direct current (DC) power to deeply deionize water. As the ideal polishing step following reverse osmosis (RO), EDI systems eliminate the need for hazardous acid and caustic regeneration chemicals used in traditional mixed-bed ion exchange. Our EDI modules and integrated systems reliably produce ultrapure water (UPW) up to 18.2 MΩ·cm, providing a safe, stable, and environmentally friendly solution for critical industrial applications.

Why EDI Water Treatment Matters

Performance Benefits

Transitioning from traditional mixed-bed resins to EDI offers transformative operational and environmental advantages for ultrapure water production.

Chemical-Free Operation: No acid or caustic regeneration chemicals required.

Continuous Production: DC power enables continuous resin regeneration with less downtime.

High Water Quality: Produces ultrapure water up to 18.2 MΩ·cm.

Lower Operating Costs: Reduces labor, chemicals, and waste treatment costs.

For facilities requiring a reliable, safe, and continuous supply of ultrapure water, EDI is the proven and modern replacement for traditional mixed-bed polishing.

FAQ

We support your site team during start-up and commissioning preparation, including:

  • What is the difference between EDI and traditional mixed-bed deionization?

    The primary difference is how the ion exchange resin is regenerated. Traditional mixed beds require the system to be taken offline and flushed with hazardous acids and caustics. EDI uses an electrical current (DC power) to continuously regenerate the resin while the system is running, eliminating chemical handling and downtime.

  • What feed water quality is required for an EDI system?

    EDI systems are highly sensitive to feed water quality and must be used as a polishing step. The feed water is typically the permeate from a single or double-pass Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, which has already removed the vast majority of suspended solids, organics, and dissolved salts.

  • Can an EDI system consistently achieve 18.2 MΩ·cm resistivity?

    Yes. When supplied with the correct RO permeate feed water and operated within the specified voltage and flow parameters, our EDI modules can consistently and continuously produce ultrapure water reaching the theoretical maximum resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm.
