3.3 Working Principle and System Integration
3.3.1 EDI Deionization Principle
- The EDI module integrates AEM, CEM, and ion-exchange resins in a compact structure.
- An electric field is applied to the module: cations pass through CEM to the concentrate stream, while anions pass through AEM to the concentrate stream.
- Ion-exchange resins are continuously regenerated by the electric field, eliminating the need for chemical regeneration and reducing environmental impact.
- Feed water is converted into ultra-pure water (permeate) and concentrated brine (rejected), with the permeate meeting high-resistivity requirements for sensitive applications.
3.3.2 Integration Process
Pre-Treated Water (RO/UF Effluent) → EDI Module (HL-EDICM-02T) → Ultra-Pure Water Storage Tank → Application (Laboratory/Medical/Cleaning)→ Concentrate Stream → Discharge/Treatment

6. Common Questions (FAQ)
6.1 Installation and Integration
Q1: Can the module be used with small laboratory RO systems?A1: Yes. The module is designed with standard quick-connect fittings, compatible with most small-scale RO/UF systems as long as the feed water meets the specified conductivity, hardness, and oxidizer requirements.
Q2: What space and power conditions are required?A2: The module requires a flat surface of ≥0.8×0.6m and a 110V/60Hz power outlet. No complex wiring or civil engineering is needed.
6.2 Operation and Maintenance
Q1: Does the module require chemical regeneration?A1: No. The EDI module uses electric field regeneration of ion-exchange resins, eliminating the need for chemical agents and reducing operational complexity in laboratory environments.
Q2: How to monitor the module’s performance?A2: The integrated control cabinet includes pressure monitoring; we recommend adding an optional portable resistivity meter to periodically verify water purity (sold separately).
6.3 Warranty and Support
Q1: What is covered under the 24-month warranty?A1: Manufacturing defects in the EDI core, control cabinet, and power supply. Damage from improper installation or non-compliant feed water is excluded.
Q2: What should I do if resistivity drops below the required level?A2: Check feed water quality (conductivity, hardness, oxidizers) first; inspect pipeline connections for leaks or contamination; contact technical support for module performance testing if issues persist.
6.4 Performance and Compatibility
Q1: What is the impact of temperature on resistivity?A1: Optimal temperature is 10℃-35℃. Below 5℃, resistivity may decrease slightly; above 40℃, avoid operation to prevent module damage—laboratory temperature control typically meets this requirement.
Q2: Can the module operate intermittently for laboratory use?A2: Yes. The tank level switch-linked start-stop function is ideal for intermittent laboratory operation, with no adverse impact on module performance or resin lifespan.
