Pumps and Systems Magazine Features Voltea CapDI Steel Mill Case Study
Voltea, the global leader in membrane-capacitive deionization (CapDI©) electro-desalination technology, has been featured in this month’s Pumps and Systems Magazine!

The feature includes a CapDI case study on the Republic Steel installation site in Lorain, OH.

High-quality water is vital for many industry applications, from cooling towers at a manufacturing plant to irrigation systems at a large agricultural operation.

Most commercial businesses and industrial plants pull water from the local municipality to power their appliances and equipment, feed their lawns and provide drinking water on-site. However, the municipal water source is not always the most feasible or easily accessible option, forcing business owners and consultants to look for other ways to get the water they need.

A steel mill located in Lorain, Ohio had recently installed a new gasification system on-site at its 600-acre facility along the Black River, which required the use of a cooling tower for operation. This cooling tower, however, was far away from the main water line and the cost to connect the two was quoted at $1.2M USD. Due to the excessively high cost, the mill needed to consider other options.

Given the location of the steel mill, the nearby Black River became the only feasible water source for the cooling needs of this new gasification system. However, the Black River presented new problems. Raw river water would require significant treatment before it could be suitable as a feed water source to the cooling tower.

NSF designation confirms DiEntry System is approved for consumer-related use
Voltea, the global leader in membrane-capacitive deionization (CapDI©) electro-desalination technology, announced today it has received the world’s leading water certification and listing for its DiEntry© water treatment system – NSF/ANSI 42 approval from National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International.

Businesses and consumers should take note that this confirmation from the leading independent public health and safety organization makes it possible for Voltea to sell its DiEntry Systems for potable drinking water purification in residences, restaurants, hotels, cafes and all drinking water applications.

“Earning NSF certification and listing for DiEntry is a huge achievement representing enormous value creation for Voltea’s customers and share-owners,” said Voltea CEO Bryan Brister. “NSF is extremely thorough – this certification is similar to a new drug receiving FDA clearance and gives business owners and homeowners peace of mind that these systems meet the most stringent health regulations for any drinking water application anywhere in the world.”

DiEntry went through hundreds of thousands of cycles of operation to ensure the mechanical integrity of the system under hydraulic pressure and was subjected to exhaustive leach testing ensuring all wetted surfaces were appropriate for drinking water applications. This rigorous procedure determines that products are safe for use and that they deliver the gold standard according to NSF/ANSI 42 Listing.

This significant milestone makes Voltea the first and only manufacturer worldwide to have an NSF-certified and listed product with patented CapDI technology. The certification also paves the way for Voltea’s technology to be used in consumer products such as dishwashers and washing machines.

Voltea’s point-of-entry system, DiEntry, is the next generation residential water treatment system that uses Voltea’s tunable, high recovery, energy-saving CapDI technology to provide complete control over the quality and taste of a home’s water while reducing environmental impact. The system uses no salt or chemicals, wastes less water than other traditional purification technologies, and can be perfectly tuned to provide on-demand purified water.

Founded in 1944, NSF conducts extensive product testing for not only drinking water applications but food equipment, building materials, appliances and home products, automotive parts and more. This sought-after certification involves an exhaustive, time-intensive testing process that is extremely thorough, evaluating every aspect of a product, which is part of what makes the achievement of certification so monumental.

“The NSF/ANSI 42 certification and listing for our DiEntry product is something we are proud of achieving,” Brister said. “This shows that CapDI allows superior water treatment that meets the absolute highest quality and safety standard for drinking water applications. Our customers are worth it.”
