Demineralization (DM) is the process of removing minerals, salts ( such as cations - sodium, calcium, iron, copper, and anions such as chloride, sulphate, nitrate, etc) from Water by using one of the following processes :
Ion Exchange: Demineralised (DM) Water known for typical conductivity < 30 umhos/cm. Deionised (DI) Water is known as more purified DM water with the help of a Mixed Bed (MB )unit or Electro De-Ionisation (EDI). MB-based DI water produces Conductivity < 5 umhos/cm. EDI-based DI water produces Conductivity < 0.5 umhos/cm.
Raw Water Pretreatment
Most of the time its desired that raw water be treated for the removal of the suspended solids (TSS) with the help of a Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) and to be treated for removal of Colour, Odour and Organic matter with the help of Activated Charcoal Filter (ACF). These units shall help in enhancing the life of the resins/ membrane and to offer the desired water quality.
The membrane-based systems like RO+MB is becoming more popular because of automation in the membrane system and less manpower requirement for the regeneration process.
Distillation is nowadays outdated technology due to electrical power consumption.
Evaporation such as MEE is being used in the recycling of wastewater.
Majorly 2 principles were used for producing DM/DI quality water:
Envicare's DM Water Plant's Advantages:
Major Applications
Boilers feed Water, Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Breweries, Cooling Towers Potable Water, Hospitals, automobiles, and Battery, and Fertilisers
Portable or Mini- DM Water Treatment Plant
The Water free from any mineral is called De-Mineralised Water (D.M.Water). Naturally occurring Water has various salts in dilute form which are called dissolved solids (TDS). When the Water having such mineral is required to be free from this, it is to be treated in Ion Exchange Resins column (H form) which adsorbs the positively charge ion. Now the cations free passed through Anion Resin Column (OH form) which adsorbs the negatively charged anions and Water free from the total ions shall comes out from the system.
