The Technology

Smarter purification,
cleaner water.

Capacitive Deionization removes dissolved salts by drawing charged ions onto porous electrodes with a low-voltage electric field — no membranes to clog and no chemicals to dose.

Home/Technology
How It Works

Four steps, no consumables.

01

Pre-treatment

Activated carbon & sediment filtration strips particulates and chlorine before the cell.

02

Charge

A low-voltage field is applied across porous electrodes as feed water flows through.

03

Adsorb

Dissolved salt ions are drawn out of the stream and held on the electrode surface.

04

Auto-clean

The field reverses, releasing ions to drain and regenerating the cell — no chemicals.

Why It Matters

The engineering payoff.

Natural mineral restoration

Optimum mineral balance — tunable TDS and concentration of minerals.

Longer module life

4–6 years vs 12–24 months for typical RO membranes.

Lower treatment cost

Just 0.1–0.2 INR per litre against 0.3–1.0 for RO.

Auto cleaning included

Built-in self-cleaning keeps performance steady over time.

Chlorine tolerant

Unlike RO membranes, the CDI cell tolerates chlorine in the feed.

Handles high temperature

The system is rated for high-temperature feed water.

Going Further

When you need ultrapure.

Where the requirement moves past drinking water into ultrapure territory — pharma, semiconductor, boiler feed — our Electro Deionization units polish RO permeate continuously to 18.2 MΩ·cm without regeneration chemicals.
