Advantages of EDI over Mixed Bed Technology • Eliminates harsh treatment chemicals • Green Technology • Bulk chemical storage not required • Safety Considerations • Eliminates need for regeneration • Continuous operation; improved quality • Simple to operate • Regeneration system not required • Lower operating cost • Modular equipment, scalable • Smaller footprint, could be made mobile
Advantages of EDI over Mixed Bed Technology Continuous, Simple Operation Mixed-bed Batch Processing EDI Continuous Processing 18.2 MOhm.cm MOhm.cm EDI delivers16 to 18Mohm.cm watercontinuously Time Time • Reduced installation and commissioning time • No complex operating procedures • Eliminates batch processing • Provides consistent product water quality on a continuous basis • Operator Intervention is not required
Limitations of Conventional EDI Technology • Limited hardness tolerance • Frequent cleaning • Reduced System Reliability • Softener or 2nd pass RO: increased Capex & Opex • Needs higher feed pressure – counter flow • Limited ability to handle high conductivity & CO2
FEDI – Fractional Electrodeionization The Next Generation of EDI
FEDI® Two Stage Process • 1st Stage :- Hardness Removal Zone • Low electrical driving force • Strongly ionized impurities removed (Ca++, Mg++, Na+, SO4- -,Cl -) • Reject pH acidic, eliminates scaling • Prepares weekly ionized impurities for stage 2 removal • 2 nd Stage :- Silica Removal Zone • Higher electrical driving force • Creates water splitting • Results in highly regenerated resin • Results in alkaline reject pH • Balance monovalent & weakly ionized impurities removed (Silica, Boron, CO2)
