How EDI works

• Ion exchange of ions with

resin beads
• Ions in the resin migrate
toward the electrodes,
through IX membranes and
into C-chambers

• Water splitting produces H+

and OH- ions resulting in
continuous regeneration

• Impurity ions trapped in C-

chambers by membranes, H+
and OH- recombine to give
H2O

CONFIDENTIAL
Key EDI Operating Parameters

Feed water composition

ionic/ionizable impurities
CO2
Applied current
Determined by:
target product quality (resistivity, silica, …)
impurity concentration and flow rate
ionic charge on impurities inside IX medium

Flow rate
Determined by:
Feed water quality
Maximum voltage and current available
Required product water quality
Mechanical limitations of the stack (pressure drop)
