  • Electrochemically regenerated water deionization
    Patent number: 9724645
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for abating scale formation during the purification and demineralization of water in an electrochemical deionization apparatus. In the apparatus and method, scale forming ions in a raw water feed are precipitated at a controlled location remote from the deionization chambers of the deionization apparatus. Concentrate water produced during the deionization process to produce demineralized product water is acidified and circulated through the deionization apparatus to prevent scale formation and build-up in the deionization apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2017
    Assignee: TANGENT COMPANY LLC
    Inventors: David Francis Rath, Kevin James Ryan Elliott, Lyle E. Kirman
