Water Treatment & Ion Separation
How It Works
The ElectroSep Water Treatment & Ion Separation Process uses electric charge with controlled voltage to separate and remove dissolved salts and ions from water streams.
Compared to reverse osmosis (RO), the ElectroSep process utilizes low-pressure voltage-driven separation to efficiently concentrate a brine stream far beyond RO capabilities, increasing overall treated water recovery. Our electrodialysis process can be implemented downstream of RO systems to increase water recovery, allowing customers to recycle and reuse a very large portion of water that would normally require disposal, as well as reduce make-up water volumes.
Treated water is discharged in two streams:
- An improved value, purified water stream, and
- A concentrated brine stream for disposal or further treatment
Application Benefits
The ElectroSep Difference in Water Treatment & Ion Separation
Highest Grade Process Equipment
Treatment units are built to the highest quality standards, utilizing stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials for long-lasting durability
Custom Designs
- Treatment units can be custom designed to meet customer requirements
- Treatment units are tunable for optimized performance and discharge brine concentration, as well as easily upgradable for increased capacity if needed
Energy Efficient
- Electrodialysis can efficiently concentrate a brine stream far beyond RO capabilities, increasing overall treated water recovery
- Consumes less energy than thermal desalination by targeting only the ionic components, making it ideal for brackish water and industrial process streams
Extremely Safe
All operators have taken extensive safety training, and we have one of the highest safety records in the industry
Sustainable
- Delivers consistent water quality with minimal waste generation and offers easy system scalability for industrial and environmental applications
- Can be paired with RO systems to increase water recovery, allowing customers to optimize water recycle and reuse, and reduce plant make-up water volumes
- The process uses no chemical additives
