Electrodeionization (EDI)

Electrodeionization (EDI) is a form of high purity water treatment technology. It replaces the use of portable mixed bed deionization. EDI uses a small amount of electricity to continuously regenerate the resin. Traditional mixed bed deionization requires exchange by your local service provider. The service provider then has...
