Recover more from your high total suspended solids (TSS) and high silica source water

If your source water is challenging due to high total suspended solids (TSS) or high silica, electrodialysis reversal (EDR) for drinking water can provide high water recovery, reducing the strain in water scarce areas.

Because of the polarity reversal design, EDR for wastewater reuse is a self-cleaning, durable membrane system ideal for turbid wastewater. EDR technology achieves high water recovery for water scarce areas and GE’s wastewater EDR systems reclaim more than 20 million gallons per day (75,000 m³/day) of wastewater for other uses.

EDR Product Features

• High water recovery design efficiently processes source water and generates low concentrate volume for disposal
• Rugged systems are less sensitive than reverse osmosis (RO) to particulates and metal oxides
• Targets arsenic, fluoride, radium and nitrate removal for potable water applications
• Long membrane life (typically 20+ years for potable water installations) for a lower cost of ownership
• Chlorine-resistant membranes are tolerant to disinfection, allowing use on challenging waters
• Wastewater reclamation reduces waste discharges and water use charges
• Effectively treats rejects and blowdowns
• Easy to control salt removal and product quality by adjusting amount of electricity applied to membrane stack

Advanced polymers reduce sludge volume and improve influent water

GE’s exclusive blend of custom-designed polymers help remove organic color, iron, suspended solids, calcium, and magnesium hardness from influent water. The polymer water treatment helps eliminate the need for pH adjustment, decreases the load on demineralizers, increase filter throughput, and significantly reduces sludge volume.

Combined with other comprehensive wastewater treatment products, GE’s coagulants and flocculants make effluent waters acceptable for reuse or discharge.

Coagulant and Flocculant Features

• Reduces fouling by solids, organics, microbiological materials and colloids
• Increases settling rates
• Reduces sludge volume
• Improves efficiency in boiler and cooling systems
• Improves the performance of scale inhibitors
• Improves process operations
• Produces cleaner, clearer drinking water

Remove mercury, lead, and other heavy metals from your industrial waste streams

Metals in waste streams don't naturally degrade and are toxic to aquatic life, even at low concentrations. GE provides wastewater treatment programs for industrial facility operators to reduce heavy metals in waste streams to help ensure regulatory compliance. Metals that can be removed include soluble and/or particulate heavy metals, such as lead, copper, chromium, iron, manganese, mercury, nickel and zinc.

Metals Removal Product Features

• Remove heavy metals from wastewater over a wide pH range
• Reduce treatment costs
• Helps meet regulatory requirements
• Reduces potential for future remediation
• Improves community health
• Enables wastewater recycling for plant processes
• Can be applied during normal treatment process or as a polishing agent for industrial wastewater treatment
