Calculation of currentefficiency is described in 9.2.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test meth
18、od is used to determine performancecapabilities of CEDI devices with regard to extent of ionremoval, pressure/flow relationships and electrical power con-sumption at standard or nominal operating conditions, electri-cal current characteristics, and the relative ability of the deviceto remove ionized
19、 and ionizable species when fed reverseosmosis permeate water. On this type of feed, there is consid-erable water splitting and ion-exchange resin regeneration,causing certain species to become ionized within the device,either by the electromotive force or a localized pH shift. Themethod is applicab
20、le to both new and used devices.4.2 Pressure loss data is obtained. This information providesinformation relating to possible particulate plugging, fouling,or internal damage of the device. Deionization performance,extent of silica and dissolved carbon dioxide removal, concen-trating stream pH, and
21、applied voltage are determined at apredetermined level of electrical current transfer. The ohmic(electrical) resistance is determined. This information in com-bination with concentrating stream pH provides basic designand performance information.5. Significance and Use5.1 CEDI devices can be used to
22、 produce deionized waterfrom feeds of pretreated water. This test method permits themeasurement of key performance capabilities of CEDI devicesusing a standard set of conditions. The data obtained can beanalyzed to provide information on whether changes may haveoccurred in operating characteristics
23、of the device indepen-dently of any variability in feed water characteristics oroperating conditions. Under specific circumstances, the methodmay also provide sufficient information for plant design.6. Apparatus6.1 Description:6.1.1 The test apparatus is schematically represented in Fig.1. Feed wate
24、r to the apparatus may be passed through a heatexchanger and/or other accessories to modify and/or controlfeed water temperature as desired. Alternately, data obtainedfrom the operation of the apparatus may be normalized fortemperature if normalization factors are known.6.1.2 Feed water to the appar
25、atus enters a holding tank(open or vented) of volume sufficient to maintain good controlof water level and solute concentrations. The tank is unpres-surized, ported to be capable of occasional cleanings orsanitizations, and incorporates needed safety features such ashigh temperature and overflow pro
26、tection. The tank alsoincorporates a drain valve. During operation of the apparatus,the drain valve may be used in combination with a valvecontrolling the rate of feed water to the apparatus to aid incontrol of solute concentrations, water level, and temperaturewithin the tank. The tank supplies wat
27、er to a recirculationpump designed to feed water to the CEDI device at a flow rateand pressure consistent with the ratings of the CEDI device. Arecirculation line with shut off valve from the pump dischargeto the tank may be incorporated as required for proper pumpoperation.6.1.3 Adjustment of feed
28、water solute concentration is notrequired.Adjust feed water pH as required by the manufacturerof the CEDI device. Feed water to the CEDI device must bemonitored for solute concentrations, pH (Test Method D 1293),and temperature. Solute concentration may be monitored viaelectrical conductivity or res
29、istivity (Test Method D 1125)incombination with silica (Test Method D 513) and carbondioxide (Test Method D 859) concentration measurement, oralternately may be monitored for individual ionic species anddissolved carbon dioxide and silica, depending on the feedwater supplied to the tank and the solu
30、tes of interest.6.1.4 Feed water provided to the CEDI device should beplumbed as specified by the supplier, with appropriate flow andpressure controls, internal recirculations, drains, interlocks,safety controls, and other features as required. Pressure at theinlet and outlet and flow rates of each
31、the streams of interestmust be monitored (for example, deionized water stream,concentrate stream, and electrode feed stream).6.1.5 The CEDI device should be powered as specified bythe supplier, with equipment and wiring to provide appropriatesupply DC voltage and amperage, controls, interlocks, grou
32、nd-ing, and safety features. Supply voltage and supply amperageto the CEDI device should be monitored at positions within thedevice or device assembly as specified by the supplier.6.1.6 Streams leaving the CEDI device may be returned tothe tank via return lines.Alternately, one or more of the stream
33、smay be sent either completely or partially to drain viaappropriate valving if such operation provides easier control ofdesired feed water conditions. The outlet deionization stream ismonitored for the same solutes as for the feed water. The outletconcentrating stream is also monitored for the same
34、solutes asfor the feed water. Control of temperature is not required. ForCEDI devices with internal recirculation and “feed and bleed”features, solute concentrations must be measured at locationsthat are indicative of conditions within the CEDI module priorto mixing of recirculation flows.6.1.7 Feed
35、 water to the tank of the test apparatus shall beprepared using reverse osmosis apparatus. The pretreatmentrequirements for the RO are optional depending on theapplication, but should, at minimum, conform to the manufac-turers specifications for the particular system.6.2 Installation:6.2.1 Materials
36、 of construction shall be as specified by thesupplier of the CEDI device and in conformance to standardengineering practice.6.2.2 Controls and monitors should be calibrated and main-tained according with suppliers requirements and standardengineering practice.D 6807 02 (2009)2FIG. 1 Process Flow Sch

However, chemical modification such as pH adjust-ment, addition of trace solutes, and the addition of dissolvedcarbon dioxide may be applicable under certain circumstances.Unless otherwise indicated,
38、it is intended that all reagents shallconform to the specifications of the Committee on AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society, where suchspecifications are available.3Other grades may be used, pro-vided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit it
39、s use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.8. Procedure8.1 Start Up:8.1.1 Ensure that the tank and reagent feed reservoirs aresufficiently full, with adequate feed water rate to accommodateany losses of water caused by the positioning of the variousdrain valves. Control valves to the C
40、EDI device should beclosed and the device should be unpowered.8.1.2 Turn on the recirculation pump and then slowly openthe feed water throttling valves and various valves and recir-culation devices on the CEDI device until the device isoperating at nominal or supplier recommended flow condi-tions. M
41、odify throttling valves to adjust inlet and outletpressures of the various device streams in accordance withsupplier recommendations.8.1.3 Operate the system with no DC power applied for asufficient time to ensure adequate removal of any residual airfrom the piping and device. During this time, flow
42、s, pressures,feed solute concentrations, and temperature, should be adjusteduntil a desirable steady state device feed water condition hasbeen attained.8.2 Electrical Property and Deionization PerformanceMeasurements:8.2.1 Turn on the DC power supply to the CEDI device,beginning at a low voltage. Ra
43、ise the applied DC voltage untilDC amperage between electrode pairs attains a pre-determinedelectrical current efficiency, typically below 20 %, but do notapply a voltage or amperage that exceeds suppliers recom-mendations (consult supplier for recommended values). Cur-rent efficiency should be calc
44、ulated as described in 9.2 using asNdi the total combined normality of all ionized and ionizableconstituents (for example, including all ionized species, anddissolved carbon dioxide as monovalent bicarbonate ion anddissolved silica as monovalent bisilicate ion).8.2.2 As the internal media electroreg
45、enerates, pH shifts andnon-steady state concentrate concentrations should be ex-pected. Therefore, recirculation flows, flows to drain, andvoltage should be controlled so as to avoid exceeding suppli-ers recommended operating parameters and to speed theattainment of steady state conditions.8.2.3 Con
46、tinue to operate until steady state is achieved,including applied voltage, concentrate stream electrical con-ductivity, deionization performance, silica and carbon dioxideconcentrations at the deionizing and concentrating streamoutlets, and deionizing and concentrating stream flows andinlet and outl
47、et pressures. Since electroregeneration of theactive media can be a gradual process, it will typically take 4to8htoreach steady state. Pressures should be expected tochange as the internal media electroregenerates. Do not exceedsuppliers specifications for pressure differentials.8.2.4 Measure and re
48、cord DC voltage, DC amperage, devicefeed water temperature, deionizing stream inlet and outletconductivity or resistivity, and deionizing stream flow rate.Also, measure and record feed pH, feed and deionizing streamand concentrating stream outlet silica and carbon dioxideconcentrations. Attachment A
49、 is a sample test data sheet.NOTE 1In RO permeates, dissolved CO2often comprises the majorityof ionized and ionizable material present, and the CO2concentration canvary greatly depending upon the pH of the RO feed water. Since it may notbe practical to control the CO2concentration feeding the CEDI device, itis very important that the feed CO2be measured when this test isperformed.8.3 Pressure Drop MeasurementsOnce steady state isachieved, as described in 8.2, measure and record pressures ofthe various inlet and outlet streams of the device. If necessary,normalize pres
