Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, has created a case study based on our CapDI installation at a commercial laundry facility in the U.S.. This case study focuses on how our CapDI technology cost-effectively removes dissolved salts from high-temperature recycled laundry water, resulting in not only whiter linens and water savings, but also significantly reducing heating costs.

Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, recently held a CapDI demonstration seminar in conjunction with Synergy Ambiental, focusing on the importance of achieving sustainability through water treatment and water reuse.

The seminar was held in Torreón, Mexico, where an Industrial Series System (IS2) was brought to demonstrate the technology first-hand. The participants had the opportunity to learn about Membrane CapDI, engage in a discussion for local solutions, and see a CapDI system run up-close. Additionally, a small water lab was set up next to the system to measure the raw and purified water to validate the results. Conductivity, pH, hardness, arsenic and sulphates were all measured at 50% and 90% removal.

“Our first CapDI seminar in Mexico was a great success! We had customers from the food and beverage, energy, and automotive industries who were very satisfied watching the technology working in real-time,” Guillermo Cuevas, CEO at Synergy Ambiental, acknowledged. “CapDI technology will allow us to provide our customers sustainable projects in potabilization for water consumption, pre-treatment for boilers or cooling towers, as well as water reuse projects”.

Synergy Ambiental (http://www.synergyambiental.com.ar) is an official distributor for Voltea in Mexico and a frontrunner in Membrane CapDI technology. Synergy is located in the north of Mexico, which is considered to be the industrial powerhouse of the country, but the water is scarce in certain areas due to the desert climate. CapDI is especially relevant here as the ground and municipal water present high hardness and high conductivity levels. Along with the conventional salt-free water softening and cooling tower make-up water use for CapDI, clients are also looking into wastewater reuse to take advantage of the robustness for biofouling and particulate fouling.

Voltea’s CEO, Bryan Brister, did an interview with Water Desalination + Reuse where the attached article was written. This article covers our CapDI technology and how it compares to other desalination technologies, and the progress we have made to make it a more cost-effective desalination solution.

Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, has created a case study based on our CapDI installation at a leading auto-manufacturer in the U.S.. This case study focuses on how our CapDI technology works in the paint line rinse water reuse application, where our CapDI system allows this manufacturer to realize $1.78M and 6.24M GAL in annual water recovery savings.

Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, announced today the addition of Dan Connorton, Global Quality Leader, effective January 16, 2017. Dan joins the Voltea Operations Team at the Dallas office, reporting to Timothy Cavitt, Chief Operations Officer.

Quality is of utmost importance at Voltea, and bringing in a Quality Leader that has previous experience with CapDI is a great opportunity for the company.

“I am excited to rejoin Voltea at a crucial time for business growth. Implementing a world class quality system that can help drive continuous improvement throughout the company is an essential part of our process,” mentioned Connorton.

“Dan’s experience leading and directing quality organizations will ensure we continue to implement a quality culture within Voltea, which will place our technology in front of the competition. We are committed to providing a high-quality product that signifies the quality of our brand in the market. I am pleased to have Dan join our Operations Leadership team,” explained Cavitt.

Dan rejoins Voltea with years of quality systems management experience in the water industry. He has significant experience with membrane technology and over 4 years with Voltea’s CapDI Technology in particular. Dan will bring ISO QMS set-up experience to the team, and will be responsible for ensuring Voltea’s quality system is maintained to customer expectations, driving a world class product to high standards. This role includes managing quality at both manufacturing facilities in Dallas, Texas and Sassenheim, The Netherlands, as well as component suppliers.

Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, has created a case study based on our CapDI installation at Republic Steel in Lorain, OH. This case study focuses on how our CapDI technology works in the cooling tower application, and specifically for Republic Steel using raw river water from their local Black River.

Voltea, the world’s leader in Membrane-Capacitive Deionization (CapDI©), for salt-free and chemical-free water softening and desalination, has created an infographic specific to the deionization industry that compares CapDI with both Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Electrodialysis Reversal (ED(R)).

In this infographic, we explain how CapDI differs physically, mechanically, and by the features it offers. Our advanced design team has built graphics that show the external and internal features of CapDI, RO, and ED(R) vessels with labels on the flow process to help consumers better understand how CapDI works. We have also included a chart that compares the features that we believe are the most important differentiators of CapDI.

We hope this infographic will be a helpful resource explaining how CapDI differs from other traditional deionization technologies.
