Membranes, Resins & Materials for water desalination, water purification and separation processes
Application Uses

CSIR-CSMCRI has developed electrodialysis technology for conversion of low valued salt into high valued salt using indigenously developed ion-exchange membranes by ionic metathesis.

Salient Technical Features
  1. All components such as ion-exchange membranes, electrodes are indigenously available.
  2. Ground water or municipal water may be taken as feed water.
  3. High rate of conversion.
  4. Maintenance cost: Negligible
