Electrodeionization is a
water treatment technology that utilizes a electricity, ion exchange membranes and resin to deionize water and separate dissolved
ions (impurities) from water. It differs from other water purification technologies in that it is done without the use of chemical treatments and is usually a polishing treatment to
reverse osmosis (RO). There are also EDI units that are often referred to as
Continuous electrodeionization (CEDI) since the electric current regenerates the resin mass continuously. CEDI technique can achieve very high purity, with conductivity below 0.1 µS/cm.
