Voltea Exhibiting at WEFTEC 2018 October 1-3 in New Orleans! Booth #238
Voltea will be showcasing its innovative, patented CapDI technology with their 3 main product lines; DiUse, DiEntry and the Industrial Series!

If you haven’t already seen DiUse and DiEntry in person, stop by booth 238 and witness water purification innovation!

Voltea, the global leader in membrane-capacitive deionization (CapDI©) electro-desalination technology, is launching its first residential-focused water purification unit, DiEntry, at PCBC on June 27-28. Perfectly suited to the water quality and environmental needs of high-end West Coast home builders and homeowners, DiEntry is next generation technology that leapfrogs any existing residential system.

DiEntry addresses the most pressing water issues in the market – quality, taste and waste – by using Voltea’s energy-saving CapDI technology to “tune” water to meet the needs of the homeowner and community. This technology has disrupted an industry that relies on chemical additives or so-called “soft” salt to treat water.

Because of its patented technology and growing customer base across multiple industries, Voltea was recognized as the Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the Year at the 2018 Global Water Summit in Paris.

“We’re pleased to provide a transformative product for the residential market that is based on our industry-leading CapDI technology,” said Voltea CEO Bryan Brister. “Home builders and homeowners will benefit from our experience providing water treatment solutions to some of the top companies in the world.”

Voltea, the global leader in electro-desalination water treatment technology, was named the Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the Year by Global Water Intelligence (GWI) at this week’s Global Water Awards ceremony in Paris.
The awards, which recognize companies that make a significant contribution to the worldwide water industry, were part of GWI’s Global Water Summit. GWI cited Voltea’s “successful commercialization of its CapDI© technology” as a key factor in earning the award.

“2017 saw Voltea’s capacitive deionisation (CapDI) technology take off as one of the most successful alternatives to reverse osmosis in recent years,” GWI said. “It gained significant market traction in the industrial and commercial sectors, with over 100 systems being shipped. The company also closed a $10 million funding round to further accelerate its growth, and brought the full capacity of its robotic module assembly plant in Dallas online.”

Voltea’s industrial and commercial CapDI© systems run with patented CapDI technology, which monitors incoming water quality in real time, and self-adjusts performance to ensure it delivers consistent, precise water quality.

“We’re extremely grateful to be recognized by GWI for our disruptive technology, which has transformed the way many industries treat water,” said Voltea CEO Bryan Brister. “Our salt-free, chemical-free technology is being used by some of the top companies in the world for a variety of uses, from cooling towers to point-of-use water treatment for coffee and fountain drinks.”

CapDI technology is a simple, two-step process wherein water flows between electrodes. The electrode surfaces are separated from the water by ion-selective membranes that allow positive or negative ions (salts) to pass. The system is tunable, allowing adjustable salt removal and continually adjusts to account for any fluctuations in feed water characteristics.

The winners of the GWI awards were chosen by GWI subscribers and Global Water Summit delegates.

“Voltea brings a compelling value proposition to clients who have traditionally favored RO, particularly given the need for less pretreatment and no remineralisation,” GWI said.

Voltea, which opened its production facility in the Dallas area about 18 months ago, has about 30 local employees and continues to grow.

Patented Technology in DiUse® Continuously “Tunes” Water to Perfect Salinity;

Booth #9213
Voltea, the global leader in membrane-capacitive deionization (CapDI©) electro-desalination technology, is showcasing its recently launched chemical-free water treatment systems at the NRA Show 2018, May 19-22 in Chicago.

These systems are tailored to help restaurants improve quality, consistency and taste in water-based products such as coffee and fountain drinks. The technology also provides no-salt, no-chemical softening for water going into equipment such as commercial ware/dishwashers to ensure spot-free rinse while protecting equipment.

Voltea’s energy-saving CapDI technology “tunes” water to the ideal salinity to match the application, which has disrupted an industry that relies on chemical additives or so-called “soft” salt to treat water. Because of its patented technology and growing customer base across multiple industries, Voltea was recognized as the Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the Year at the 2018 Global Water Summit in Paris.

For Restaurants: Advanced Technology Drives Taste, Economic and Sustainability Benefits
The featured product at the Voltea booth is DiUse®, which is of keen interest to restaurant owners and operators because it ensures consistent delivery of precise water quality with improved taste for coffee, water, fountain drinks and more.

Additionally, DiUse softens water going into commercial ware wash machines and other equipment without adding so-called “soft” salts or other harsh chemicals. DiUse provides no-salt, no-chemical water softening, thereby protecting restaurant equipment and delivering a spot-free rinse.

The salt-free, chemical-free technology is a simple two-step process wherein water flows between electrodes. The electrode surfaces are separated from the water by ion-selective membranes that allow positive or negative ions (salt) to pass.
