Zero Liquid Discharge: A Clear Path to ELG Compliance
For process-driven facilities and industrial plants, staying ahead of tightening wastewater regulations isn’t just about avoiding penalties — it’s about protecting operational reliability, conserving water, and demonstrating environmental leadership. One solution that continues to gain traction under the EPA’s Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG) is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). At UCC Environmental, we work side by side with our customers to
Understanding the Working Principle of Electrodeionization (EDI)
Water purification is a critical process in many industries, from pharmaceuticals to power generation. One of the most advanced and efficient methods of achieving this is through Electrodeionization (EDI). But how does EDI work? What is its working principle? This blog post will delve into the intricate world of EDI, explaining its functionality and benefits. Understanding Electrodeionization (EDI) Before we delve
Is Electrodialysis the Same as Reverse Osmosis?
Water treatment technologies have evolved significantly over the years, with electrodeionization technology and reverse osmosis systems becoming increasingly popular in various industries. However, despite their common goal of purifying water, these two methods are not the same. This blog post will delve into the differences between electrodialysis and reverse osmosis, focusing on their mechanisms, applications, and advantages. Understanding Electrodialysis Electrodialysis is a process that
Understanding the Process of Industrial Water Treatment Solutions
Many plants require water as part of their industrial operations. Whether it is needed for heating, cooling, cleaning, or processing, it has a vital role in the efficiency of many systems. To be used safely and effectively, however, it needs to be treated properly with industrial water treatment solutions. This eliminates impurities that can affect the quality of a finished product, pose
How to Determine the Appropriate EDI Power Supply
Choosing the appropriate power supply for an Electrodeionization (EDI) water treatment system is crucial for its optimal performance and efficiency. Several factors come into play when determining the right power supply for your specific system. By taking these factors into consideration, you will successfully ensure that your EDI system operates effectively and delivers the desired level of water purification. At
What is an EDI Water Treatment System?
Water, in its purest form, is considered a vital resource for human survival, industrial processes, and many other uses. With the escalating demand for superior, high-quality water, the need for efficient water purification systems is also rising. A breakthrough in this field is the Electrodeionization (EDI) water treatment system and process. Let’s delve into the nature of EDI systems, learning
Electrodialysis Reversal vs. Reverse Osmosis: Which Is Right for Your Industrial Water Needs?
When it comes to industrial water treatment, choosing the right technology can impact everything from operational efficiency to environmental compliance. Two of the most commonly considered desalination and separation methods are Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) and Reverse Osmosis (RO). Both are membrane-based technologies designed to remove dissolved salts and contaminants. Still, they differ significantly in how they operate, what they’re best
The Critical Role of Demineralized Water in Power Plants
In the world of power generation, water is far more than just a cooling agent—it’s a lifeline. Whether in coal-fired, natural gas, nuclear, or solar thermal power plants, water plays a vital role in the production of electricity. But not just any water will do. At UCC Environmental, we understand that demineralized water—water stripped of dissolved minerals and salts—is essential
