2. Performance

Electrodialysis, thanks to the ability to easily control operating conditions, offers numerous and advantageous possibilities in the three areas it uses: electrical energy, ionized media and neutral or charged membranes.

• Being a monothermal operation, it allows you to choose the temperature best suited to the substances to be treated. The devices, which are generally small in size, can be easily and inexpensively thermoregulated, for example, by placing them in a refrigerator or air-conditioned enclosure. The ability to choose the temperature is important, particularly in the case of heat-sensitive biological or organic substances.

• As this operation is carried out in membrane systems, it involves relatively low dead volumes and low energy inertia, so it can be started and stopped almost...
