Ionic Solutions Inc. has developed a breakthrough desalination technology that requires significantly less energy usage compared to even the most efficient competing desalination methods. This Calgary-based innovation came about due to the global water supply challenges driving the importance of water reuse and desalination. Using patented continuous flow Capacitive Electrodialysis (CED) technology, Ionic Solutions improves the efficiency of desalination, deionization and selective ion removal from water. Adapted from the traditional electrodialysis membrane process, this innovative CED technology demands half of the energy consumption of other processes, such as reverse osmosis, reducing energy consumption to less than 2 KWH/m3 for the desalination of sea water which could provide a low cost supply of potable water for many geographic regions in the world. The impact of this energy savings is significant and with a versatile product that is both modular and scalable, small communities can use the 100 m3/day system or large complexes can retrofit this technology into their existing plants. With world demand for water desalination products and services projecting to increase 9.3% annually, Ionic Solution’s simple technology is a cost effective solution in drinking water and water reuse for agricultural or industrial applications.
