1. Product Overview: Veolia E-Cell-3X Electrodeionization (EDI)
System
The Veolia E-Cell-3X is a high-performance electrodeionization
(EDI) system designed for continuous production of ultra-pure water
in industrial and municipal water treatment applications. This
advanced system combines ion-exchange resins, ion-selective
membranes, and electrical current to remove ions, dissolved salts,
and impurities from water without chemical regeneration. Ideal for
industries requiring stringent water quality standards, such as
power generation, pharmaceuticals, microelectronics, and food and
beverage production, the E-Cell-3X ensures consistent output with
resistivity up to 18.2 MΩ·cm. Its modular design allows
scalability, enabling integration into existing reverse osmosis
(RO) systems or standalone deployment.
The system features a compact, corrosion-resistant membrane stack
constructed from durable materials (e.g., polypropylene, PTFE) to
withstand high-pressure (up to 7 bar) and high-temperature (up to
45°C) conditions. It operates with minimal energy consumption and
reduces wastewater generation by up to 95% compared to traditional
ion-exchange systems. Veolia’s proprietary E-Cell technology
ensures stable performance even with fluctuating feedwater quality,
making it a sustainable solution for critical water purification
needs.
2. Key Technical Specifications
- Flow Rate: 0.5–50 m³/h (2–220 GPM), customizable based on module
configuration.
- Voltage/Current: 200–600 VDC, 1–6 A per stack, optimized for low energy
consumption.
- Feedwater Quality: Compatible with RO permeate (TDS < 50 ppm, SiO₂ < 500 ppb).
- Product Water Quality: Resistivity 15–18.2 MΩ·cm, silica removal to <1 ppb.
- Operating Pressure: 2–7 bar (30–100 psi).
- Temperature Range: 5–45°C.
- Materials: Chemical-resistant membranes, PVC/SS316 housing.
- Certifications: NSF/ANSI 61, CE, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 compliant.
3. Industrial Applications and Use Cases
The E-Cell-3X is critical in industries where ultra-pure water is
non-negotiable. In power plants, it produces boiler feedwater to
prevent turbine scaling and corrosion. Pharmaceutical manufacturers
rely on it to meet USP and WFI (Water for Injection) standards for
drug formulation. Semiconductor fabs use the system to generate
ultra-high-purity water for chip rinsing, minimizing contamination
risks.
For municipal applications, it treats brackish water or RO reject
streams for reuse in irrigation or industrial processes. In food
and beverage production, the E-Cell-3X ensures water meets FDA and
EU hygiene standards for ingredient mixing and equipment
sanitation. Its ability to handle variable feedwater quality also
makes it ideal for remote or hybrid renewable energy-powered
desalination projects.
4. Competitive Advantages and Unique Features
- Zero Chemical Regeneration: Eliminates hazardous acid/base usage, reducing operational costs
and environmental impact.
- Continuous Operation: Unlike batch-based ion-exchange systems, the E-Cell-3X delivers
uninterrupted high-purity water.
- Self-Cleaning Design: Automated polarity reversal minimizes scaling and fouling,
extending membrane lifespan to 5–7 years.
- Smart Monitoring: Integrated sensors and IoT connectivity provide real-time data on
resistivity, flow rates, and system health via Veolia’s Hubgrade platform.
- Modular Scalability: Stackable modules allow capacity expansion without downtime,
adapting to growing production demands.
5. Functional Capabilities and Operational Benefits
The E-Cell-3X operates via a three-stage process: ion migration
through membranes, ion trapping in resin beds, and electrochemical
regeneration. This ensures continuous deionization without manual
intervention. Its low-energy DC power supply reduces operating
costs by 30–50% compared to mixed-bed systems.
The system’s Fail-Safe mode automatically adjusts voltage/current during feedwater
quality fluctuations, preventing downtime. Remote diagnostics and
predictive maintenance alerts minimize service interruptions. By
replacing traditional chemical-dependent systems, the E-Cell-3X
cuts wastewater discharge by 90% and reduces carbon footprint,
aligning with circular economy goals. With a 99.9% uptime guarantee
and 10-year lifecycle, it is a cornerstone of sustainable
industrial water management.
