During the second installment of our webinar series, we’re diving into electrodialysis. Electrodialysis (ED) is rapidly gaining attention as a flexible, electrically driven separation technology for desalination, resource recovery and process intensification. Yet for many engineers and R&D professionals, electrodialysis still feels like a “black box”. In this entry-level webinar, dr. Harm Wiegerinck, electrodialysis specialist at EMI Twente BV, will give insights into the basics of electrodialysis and connect them directly to research that’s going on in industry.
What you’ll learn:
• Basic driving forces of electrodialysis
• Where electrodialysis fits compared to pressure-driven membrane processes
• Membrane types in electrodialysis
• Overview of common polymers used in ion-exchange membranes and why material choice matters for performance and durability
• Basic electrodialysis stack architecture
• Industrial case study highlights
This webinar is ideal for:
• Process engineers, R&D scientists and technologists in industry
• Professionals who already know the basics of membrane technology and want to understand what electrodialysis can add to their toolbox
• Anyone exploring ED for desalination, concentration, selective ion removal or resource recovery
