Price is often the first question we are asked when it comes to enquiries about DI water systems, so we wanted to address the issue in this article. Before we get into specifics we have to be clear that overall cost, operational expenses, potential savings, ROI etc. will vary on a case-by-case basis.

Deionisation of water has proven to be very effective in purifying water at an ionic level, maintaining ph and even bacteria eradication. The reason is the process removes ionic impurities, while releasing hydrogen and hydroxyl ions into the water, which hastily combine to form pure water, thus providing a sample of water that is mineral free, high-purity, and with a completely neutral ph level of 7. 

Choosing the right deionisation system is essential to having that system run for a satisfactory amount of time before any maintenance, repairs or replacement have to be made. And choosing the right system is largely dependent on the type of application for which you need deionisation. For example, if you only need to deionise a few gallons of water per minute, your structural needs are very different from another user who has to deionise about 500 gallons per minute at the very least. Therefore, looking into your own personal needs for deionisation will to a great extent govern the type of system you would be looking to install, and the type of DI system will in turn influence the provider who is best suited for the project. 

The water deionisation unit has fast become the standard water purification process for many industries, largely as a result of the level of purity of the water it produces, and the wide range of applications for such a high purity product. Deionisation of water involves passing the raw water through two stages of ion exchange that remove all impurities in the water at an ionic level and release hydrogen and hydroxyl ions into the water for chemical balance. These released ions then combine to form a molecule of water with no ionic signature. The water produced by this deionisation process also sits at a pH level of 7 on the pH scale, perfectly neutral.

The deionisation of water is a slightly complex, two-stage scientific process whose aim is the removal of all dissolved salts from the water. This process is used widely as one of the main processes of water purification. It involves passing the water through chambers that have been set up to trigger a chemical reaction that attracts the dissolved minerals (in the form of anions) out of the water. This article provides detailed information about the process of deionisation and the two parts of the process worth noting. More information can be found in our free Guide To Industrial Deionisation Systems, which can be accessed by following this link.

The deionisation process is ideal for your facility if you need to be able to remove minerals from the industrial water you use. This versatile method of purifying water allows you to achieve pure industrial water in more than one way. It all depends on the products your facility produces.

The IONMASTER HMR system is a cost-effective selective deionisation unit that actively removes heavy metals in a variety of applications. Waste water created from metal working and electroplating contains heavy metals which have to be removed using the proper equipment. Quality standards can be maintained by regulating the amount of dissolved solids and heavy metals in water with Wychwood’s HMR unit.

Bacteria is a perpetual threat to industrial water purification systems, because all systems offer any number of locations and conditions to promote bacterial growth. Facilities managers must always ensure their staff are on the lookout for signs of bacterial contamination, as not doing so can result in expensive downtime while cleaning and disinfection takes place.

The Skid-mounted Ionmaster classic is a cost-effective deionisation system with easy installation and minimal maintenance requirements. The IONMASTER Classic is a simple and efficient way to produce Deionised water at a regular quality for your production facility. Having an on-site system has several benefits, including no water purchase requirements or downtime while waiting for delivery. In addition, water testing can be completed at your facility for uninterrupted operation.

The Ionmaster CCP is a cost-effective system that helps ensure your facility always has the correct level of water quality for your application. The quality of the water you use for production will have to adhere to various government and environmental standards, as well as be free of any contaminants and impurities. To achieve these objectives, it’s imperative that your facility’s water is of a precise composition and level of purity.
