Demineralization Plants

What does Demineralization Plants stand for in a water pump?

Demineralization Plants stands for demineralized in the context of water pumps and water treatment. A DM water pump is typically used to handle demineralized water — water that has had all its mineral ions removed, especially for industrial or laboratory use.

Is Demineralization Plants water safe for drinking?

No, Demineralization Plants water is not recommended for drinking.

 Demineralized water lacks essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are important for health. It may also be aggressive (corrosive) to pipes and containers, and can disturb the body’s electrolyte balance if consumed regularly.

What is the Demineralization Plants process?

  • Using ion exchange technology, dissolved mineral salts (both anions and cations) are extracted from water as part of the demineralization process.
  • Positively charged ions including calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), sodium (Na⁺), and others are eliminated by cation exchange resin.
  • Anion exchange resin removes negatively charged ions like chloride (Cl⁻), sulfate (SO₄²⁻), nitrate (NO₃⁻), etc.
  • Optional: A mixed-bed resin may be used to polish the water for ultra-high purity. See More

What is the Demineralization Plants water specification?

Demineralization Plants water specifications can vary by application, but typical parameters include:

Parameter

Specification

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

< 10 ppm (often < 1 ppm)

Conductivity

< 10 µS/cm (often < 1 µS/cm)

pH Range

6.5 – 7.5

Silica

< 0.02 ppm (for high-purity use)

Hardness

0 ppm

How Does a Demineralization Plants Work?

A Demineralization Plants works using the ion exchange process to remove dissolved salts (both cations and anions) from water, producing mineral-free, high-purity water suitable for industrial use. Read More

Step-by-Step Demineralization Plants Working Process:

  1. Pre-Treatment (Optional): Removes suspended solids, chlorine, and organic matter.
  2. Cation Exchange Unit:
  • Exchanges positive ions (e.g., Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺) with H⁺ ions.
  • Results in acidic water (due to free H⁺).
  1. Degasser Tower (Optional)
  • Removes CO₂ formed by HCO₃ breakdown for enhanced efficiency.
  1. Anion Exchange Unit:
  • Replaces negative ions (e.g., Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻) with OH⁻ ions.
  • H⁺ + OH⁻ combine to form pure H₂O.
  1. Mixed Bed (MB) Unit (Optional):
  • Anion and cation resins combined for polishing.
  • Delivers ultra-pure water with conductivity as low as 0.1 µS/cm.

FAQs – DM & MB Plant

A DM Demineralization Plant ( DM ) is used to produce deionized water by removing dissolved salts, making it ideal for industrial, chemical, and power generation processes.

RO water removes 90–98% of TDS using membranes, while Demineralization Plant ( DM ) water removes nearly 100% of ions using ion exchange resins. DM water has lower conductivity and is preferred where ultra-pure water is needed.

A Mixed Bed unit is a polishing step in a DM system containing both cation and anion resins. It further purifies water to reach ultra-low TDS and conductivity levels, often used in final rinse or lab-grade water applications.

No. Demineralization Plant ( DM ) water lacks essential minerals and may affect the body’s electrolyte balance. It is not safe for human consumption and is intended for industrial and technical uses only.

Regeneration frequency depends on water quality and usage volume. On average, resins may need regeneration after treating 5,000 to 30,000 liters of water, using acid and alkali solutions.

Properly treated Demineralization Plant water has conductivity levels <10 µS/cm, and when polished with a Mixed Bed unit, it can go as low as 0.1–1.0 µS/cm.

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) for cation resin
  • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for anion resin
  • The resin’s ability to exchange ions is restored by these substances.

Yes, but it’s advisable to use pre-treatment (sand filter, softener, or RO) before the Demineralization Plant ( DM ) to remove turbidity, hardness, or organic impurities for improved performance and resin life.

Industries include pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, chemical processing, electronics, hospitals, research labs, and power plants.

We offer Demineralization Plant in a wide range: 500 LPH to 20,000+ LPH, with tailored options based on feed water quality and process needs.
