Saltworks - Model FlexEDR -Advanced Electrodialysis Reversal System
FlexEDR is an advanced electrodialysis reversal (EDR) platform that leverages our next-generation ion exchange membranes. It requires less pre-treatment, tolerates oils and organics, selectively removes ions and uses fewer chemicals than competing technologies.

For the Most Rugged Applications
FlexEDR™ Services
Saltworks’ FlexEDR is designed and built with:
- Our robust, highly ductile IonFlux ion exchange membranes.
- Intelligent automation including self-cleaning to maintain peak performance.
- Modular skids for easy deployment and project integration.
- Fewer pre-treatment requirements for operation with oils, organics, and particles smaller than 20 μm.
- No chemical softening requirements because patented electrode protection blocks hardness out of the EDR electrolyte, so hardness does not need to be removed before treatment.
FlexEDR Organix
Desalt Organics-Containing Wastewaters & Produced Water
FlexEDR Organix desalinates wastewater and produces water with high concentrations of organics. It
- Treats oily wastewaters, which swell conventional membranes, with resilient, next-generation IonFlux membranes.
- Reduces the need for complex pre-treatment.
- Desalts high organic wastewaters unsuitable for reverse osmosis—leave the organics in, take the salt out.
Remove more oil and reduce consumption of polymers in EOR:
- Save substantially on polymer costs by desalting produced water as your make-up water.
- Reduce disposal and make-up water costs by economically desalinating produced water for reinjection at lower salinities.
- Reuse some polymers in produced water by desalinating with FlexEDR Organix.
FlexEDR Selective
Remove Ions With Game-Changing Selectivity
Conventional EDR pulls all ions across ion exchange membranes under an electric field, without a membrane pressure differential. However,
FlexEDR Selective:
- Removes specific ions using state-of-the-art ion exchange membranes with 98% monovalent ionic selectivity (e.g. lithium or separation of chlorides from sulfates).
- Changes brine chemistry without softening to reach the full potential of reverse osmosis systems and produce more freshwater for reuse.
- Is tunable and can be applied in different configurations based on the ionic separation needed for each application.
- Extract chlorides from circulating water to enable greater internal recycling or reduce corrosion.
- Refine sodium chloride from complex saline streams.
