Evaluation Programs

Applied Water Solutions provides consulting, system and process design, installation and commissioning for new and existing purification systems in order to guarantee the required water quality, improve reliability and reduce costs of your production.

When to consider an Electrodeionization Evaluation Program (EEP)

Low EDI Product Quality
Pretreatment is key to any EDI performance. Our evaluation will find root causes for low product resistivity and poor ion rejection.

Fouling Indicators
High stack electrical resistance and high pressure drop are fouling indicators. By recognizing all fouling indicators early on most EDI performance can be recovered with proper cleaning procedure.

Mechanical Failure
System design and good engineering practices are important to any system. EDI leakage and oxidation of resin can irreversibly damage EDI systems if not detected early.

Electrical Failure
Improper EDI stack isolation and system grounding could lead to stray voltage and amperage leakage.

Variability in Feed Source
Changes in feed water are not uncommon. It can affect overall system performance resulting in higher maintenance costs.

USP Requirements
USP requirements are annually updated. Many EDI Systems are in cGMP validated facilities. This require documented preventative maintenance (PM) programs and updated standard operating procedures (SOP).

Need for Upgrade or Replace Existing EDI
The product life cycle varies among EDI suppliers. The evaluation program will provide an objective recommendation for EDI replacement.

The evaluation programs are unbiased information, independent from equipment manufacturers, providing a confidential report, staff training and documentation.

Existing water purification systems can be upgraded, expanded or modified to meet new production requirements. Technical limitations might indicate the need for a new system or new purification technology. Applied Water Solutions will evaluate your system with the latest technologies. The SEPsm involves a complete assessment of your water generation system and pre and post treatment. With over 17 years of EDI experience AWS can offer an objective, independent evaluation of your EDI System (all brands, USF H-series, P-series), water generation, pre and post treatment and distribution system.

Applied Water Solutions provides data analysis, RO projections, staff training and documentation. Based on the evaluation, we offer membrane, media and ion exchange replacement program for all systems.

Process:

• Water Analysis (optional)
• Review of current operating parameters
• Review of practices performed on equipment
• Data Analysis
• Analysis of operating and maintenance parameters vs. manufacturer’s recommended operations and industry standards
• Evaluation of integrity of pretreatment, reverse osmosis and post treatment
• Reverse Osmosis projection and maintenance recommendations
• Recommendations of changes to unit operations
• Resin analysis (optional)
• SEM and autopsies (optional)
• Recommendations of alternate technologies to improve operations
• Confidential reports / Documentation
• Training on technical issues and recommendations

Scalability and Operational Excellence - The PEP offers a comprehensive auditing service to review the plant operation and future needs. Our staff of water experts will make recommendations on your system to improve performance and reduce maintenance costs. We will provide EDI auditing with an objective view and make the recommendations to improve plant performance. Our PEP will review your system regardless of the manufacturer, and supply a comprehensive report to improve your efficiency.
