Technology | Process

The desalination takes place by means of an electrochemically driven membrane process. Ion exchanger membranes are used in combination with an electrical potential difference for partial desalination. A wastewater-dependent realisation with pole reversal is possible so that, in combination with suitable treatment chemicals, the treatment can take place under energised conditions. The process is characterised by conductivity-dependent, batch operation of the concentrate, diluate flow and electrode rinsing.

Depending on the wastewater characteristics, the wastewater is pretreated by suitable filtration processes. The concentrate (10–20 %) is fed into a concentrate store.

The dilute (80–90 %) is added to the treatment process. An appropriate conductivity-dependent control system ensures automatic treatment with wastewater-specific treatment chemicals (Cleaning In Place “CIP”).
