Capacitive Deionization for the Removal of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Capacitive deionization is a simple electrochemical process that effectively lowers the concentration of total dissolved solids in water.
Water containing arsenic, nitrate, fluoride, perchlorate, ammonia, sulfate, metals or other ionic compounds can be treated using capacitive deionization.
ESD is a cost effective system that utilizes the principles of capacitance deionization based on the company’s patent-pending IP.
ESD is offered in two designs; one
removes all charged dissolved solids,
while the other preferentially removes monovalent ions such as nitrate and fluoride.
ESD systems can also be used to
concentrate dilute solutions, for
example, the recovery of valuable
metals or nutrients from waste
streams.
Independent testing of the ESD system
has demonstrated its capabilities. The
tests targeted 85% removal of specific
compounds added separately to tap water. The target was achieved in all cases.
Why Capacitive Deionization?
- Reduce TDS
- High removal efficiencies
- High water recovery
- No chemical additives
- Low maintenance
- Low energy consumption
