EDI instead uses electricity to maintain the deionization process while the system is running.<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean the complete plant will never need chemicals.

It is a continuous deionization process that combines ion exchange resin, ion-selective membranes, and direct electrical current to remove ionic contaminants from highly pretreated water.<\/p>\n<h3>Can EDI replace reverse osmosis?<\/h3>\n<p>No. In most industrial applications, EDI is installed after reverse osmosis.<\/p>\n<p>RO performs bulk dissolved-salt removal, while EDI polishes the remaining ionic impurities to produce high purity water.<\/p>\n<h3>Can EDI replace a mixed bed?<\/h3>\n<p>In many RO-permeate polishing applications, EDI can replace conventional regenerable mixed-bed ion exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit is continuous operation without routine acid-and-caustic resin regeneration. However, feed-water limits, investment cost, operation mode, and product requirements must still be evaluated.<\/p>\n<h3>O EDI utiliza produtos qu\u00edmicos?<\/h3>\n<p>The EDI process normally does not require the routine acid and caustic regeneration used in conventional regenerable ion exchange.<\/p>\n<p>However, the overall plant may still use chemicals for RO pretreatment, pH correction, cleaning, scale control, or sanitization.<\/p>\n<h3>O EDI consegue produzir \u00e1gua ultrapura?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, EDI can form an important part of systems designed to produce ultrapure water.
