Demineralization (DM) Plant

The ion exchange technique is used to remove mineral salts from water during demineralization. Water that has had its mineral ions removed, is also known as Demineralized Water or Deionized Water. Mineral ions such as sodium, calcium, iron, copper, and others, as well as anions such as chloride, sulfate, and nitrate, are common ions found in water. Deionization is a physical process that involves the use of specially made ion exchange resins to offer an ion exchange site for the replacement of mineral salts in water with water, resulting in the formation of H+ and OH- ions. Deionization provides high purity water that is generally similar to distilled water, and the process is rapid and without scale formation because the bulk of Water impurities are dissolved salts.
