在各种应用中都有机会使用电渗析。作为一项主要技术，以及作为废物浓缩和回收设备，这些技术对含盐地下水的清理尤其重要。本文假设读者熟悉ED系统操作的基本过程。作者介绍了ED（锅炉水生产或饮用微咸水）的应用、膜特性、脱盐率、设计公式、初步设计策略和替代工艺流程方案。 图中显示了多电池电渗析过程的原理、电渗析中的物质转移、浓度与时间关系图、盐通过率、脱盐率与电堆产量、系统设计的定义、公式和计算，以及设计决策树。

Opportunities exist to use electrodialysis in a variety of applications. These are of particular interest in the cleanup of brackish groundwater, both as a primary technology and as a reject concentration and recovery device. This paper assumes the reader is familiar with the basic process of ED system operation. The author covers applications of ED (boiler water production or brackish water for potable use), membrane properties, desalination ratio, design formulas, preliminary design strategy, and alternative process flow schemes. Figures show the principles of multicell electrodialysis process, the material transfer in electrodialysis, concentration versus time graph, salt passage ratios, desalination ratio versus stack production, definitions, formulas and calculations for system design, and design decision trees.
