The Future of Electro-Separation Technologies

by | Jun 25, 2012 | Events, News | 0 comments

BlueTech Research is pleased to announce the details of the next interactive web-conference in the BlueTech® Webinar Series entitled: Electro-Separation Technologies: Market Trends and Technology Directions. The Event will be held on July 12th, 11:00 – 12:30 PM EDT; 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM BST

E-Separation technologies for water treatment have been around for decades but have been considered largely a niche technology. The E-Separation technology group includes electro-deionization, electrodialysis, capacitive deionization, reverse electrodialysis, electrodialysis reversal. The common thread amongst them all is that they either use a current to separate ions out of solution or they use the mixing of ions in solution to generate a current.

Desalination is a rapidly growing industry, with the global installed capacity doubling from 20m3/day in 1995 to 40m3/day in 2005. In the past, improvements in reverse osmosis technology have limited the role of E-Separation technology for traditional desalination applications, however BlueTech Research patent analysis show that electro-separation technologies are a hot area of desalination innovation. During this webinar you will find out if a panel of industry experts believes the new developments in electrodes, ion exchange membranes and stack construction will take E-Separation to the mainstream of water and wastewater treatment.
