15’EDI & CDI: continued 2

•
-->> cont: WM Accepted effects, A2(Salt water desalination):
•
eg3: Combo of EDI & RO type tech for heavier salt content effectiveness: High
Efficiency Electro Pressure Membrane(EET Corp+)
• Effective Industrial water desalination by combo of RO, EDI and Nanofiltration
elements(ElectroChem Saltworks Technolgies+),
• As weaker effect, in rare cases used for A(Descaling effect)(QUA group+), B(De-corrosion),
C(Germ stifling, Bacteria removal), P(Odor remove, sludge reduction by process) as a side
use. G2(energy harvesting) with CO 2 , research level only(Hamelers+),
• Other commercialized eg: (Evoqua, Vertex Hydropore, Aqua EWP+ )
• Media level occasionally Disputed its cost effectiveness: J(some of heavy metal type toxin
or part of wastewater cleaning) but innovative ElectroStatic Deionization(ESD) demonstrates
significantly lower cost effect than conventional ROs etc for certain water cleaning
task(Enpar Technologies)- similar mechanics to last page's radial deionization, Some are
robust enough to treat light industrial/laundry wastewater, or cooling tower water at low
cost(Voltea capDI+), Customizable specific mineral salt removal(AquaOmnes+)
• Generally WM Rejected: Z(Enhanced growth, nutrition, of plant-animal, fermentation
catalyst), C2(Plant growth in salty/toxic water, soil enhancement)
