In contrast to a <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/umkehrosmoseanlage\/\">reverse osmosis system<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/en\/products\/demineralization-plant\/\">demineralization system<\/a> this is not a single system, but a downstream system for the further purification of <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/en\/ve-water\/\">VE water<\/a> with a conductance of 3-5 \u00b5S\/cm to a so-called diluate with a conductance of up to 0.056 \u00b5S\/cm or 18.18 M\u03a9-cm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some industrial processes (e.g. semiconductors, optics, hydrogen production) require an even purer water than <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/en\/ve-water\/\">demineralized water<\/a>, so-called ultrapure water. This is a further purified demineralized water with the lowest possible conductance of up to 0.056 \u00b5S\/cm or 18.18 M\u03a9-cm. The process essentially consists of a mixed bed exchanger that is surrounded by cationic and anionic ion exchanger membranes and where a continuous ion outflow is generated under current. The residual substances still contained in the demineralized water are captured by the <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/en\/products\/ion-exchangers\/\">mixed bed resin<\/a> in the electrodeionization process and immediately discharged due to the current flow. Chemical regeneration of the mixed bed resin does not take place. Diluate, i.e. ultrapure water, is produced at the end of the electrodeionization process. However, as electrodeionization is only functional under stable process conditions, it is a component that is not installed individually as a system, but requires additional system components. In particular, the flow rate and inflow loads must remain constant.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--large)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion gs_aplTxs hasiconleft\" data-autoclose=\"true\" data-openfirst=\"false\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion-item\"><button class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion__title\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"sect-nhwk-2\" id=\"title-nhwk-2\"><span><strong>Application case electrodeionization:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"icon icon-normal arrow_carrot-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"icon icon-active arrow_carrot-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" id=\"sect-nhwk-2\" aria-labelledby=\"title-nhwk-2\" hidden>\n<p>Ein h\u00e4ufiger Anwendungsfall f\u00fcr die Elektrodeionisation ist die Herstellung von Reinstwasser f\u00fcr Halbleiterhersteller wobei regelm\u00e4\u00dfig ein Leitwert von 0,08 \u00b5S\/cm erforderlich ist.

This also requires pre-softening, e.g. via a strongly acidic cation exchanger with common salt regeneration or temporary hardness stabilization including the additionally required preliminary stages, such as system separators and pre-filters. In addition, either CO2 capture is required upstream of the system or it is carried out via a compressed air or vacuum membrane degasser directly before electrodeionization. Since electrodeionization is a process that requires a constant flow rate, a tank is regularly required downstream, which in turn requires special installations to prevent the purified ultrapure water in the tank from becoming too salty. Finally, the tank is regularly integrated into an extraction circuit with an <a href=\"https:\/\/decker-vt.de\/en\/services\/ion-exchanger-regeneration\/\">externally regenerated<\/a> polisher mixed bed ion exchanger with UPW mixed bed resins, e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dupont.com\/content\/dam\/dupont\/amer\/us\/en\/water-solutions\/public\/documents\/en\/IER-AmberTec-UP6040-H-OH-PDS-45-D00883-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ambertec UP6040<\/a>, and subsequent closed-pool regeneration, which then supplies the individual suppliers in the loop.
