Why MEGA water treatment system

Zero liquid discharge - ZLD

Zero liquid discharge - ZLD

Zero liquid discharge is a water treatment process with the goal of recirculating all possible water back into the process with zero liquid waste. The ultimate treatment process has zero or nearly zero impact on the environment.

Ultrapure water - UPW

Ultrapure water production by MEGA Electrodeionization (EDI) is a polishing technology used to produce high-purity water. It typically operates after pretreatment and reverse osmosis.

Reducing operating costs
No regeneration chemicals
Energy efficiency and renewable energy

MEGA provides water treatment technology for the production of all types of hydrogen that meets strict water quality criteria for use in electrolyzers, typically <1 µS/cm.

Electrodeionization increases sustainable hydrogen production by reducing operating costs through higher water yield. This is achieved without the need for column regeneration chemicals!

The ultrapure water produced for hydrogen electrolysis achieves an electrical conductivity as low as 0.055 µS/cm at 25°C, or a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ∙cm.

From membrane to industrial application

From membrane to industrial application

MEGA develops and manufactures RALEX® membranes. We use them to produce stacks, and we use our stacks to assemble complete ED and EDI units ranging from laboratory systems to large-scale industrial water treatment units.

Electrodialysis water treatment

Electrodialysis process for wastewater treatment

Electrodialysis (ED) is a modern, progressive electromembrane separation technology designed to remove dissolved solids, especially in brackish water desalination, ZLD processes, RO brine treatment and similar applications.

Electrodeionization

Electrodeionization

Electrodeionization (EDI systems) is a continuous, chemical-free water polishing process that produces high-purity water for industrial use with a resistivity of up to 18.2 MΩ∙cm. Thanks to electrodeionization systems, costly downtime and waste caused by the chemical regeneration of ion-exchange resins are a thing of the past.

What we do

Products and services for wastewater treatment applications

Save costs through RO brine concentration. Our solution removes TDS from complex wastewater, allowing industrial effluents to be recycled and reused in the process. Concentrating salts before evaporation in ZLD applications limits the RO brine waste stream and reduces the required size of the evaporator or evaporation pond.

MEGA has developed and offers its own electrodeionization units for the production of ultrapure water. This technology is used especially in the power industry to produce boiler feedwater; it is also used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in laboratories and hospitals. Electrodeionization effectively replaces ion-exchange resin technology, which incurs high operating costs for chemical resin regeneration.

Create an advanced ZLD process using ion-exchange membranes—the only solution that significantly reduces both capital and operating expenditure for the entire plant.

We have ZLD references from around the world and more than 30 years of experience. Electrodialysis has been successfully used in the textile, power, tanning, brewing, chemical, petrochemical and paper industries.

Fertilizer production generates waste condensate during evaporation, which is normally discharged without further use. MEGA has developed a unique solution based on electrodialysis. The concentrated condensate stream is returned to fertilizer production, while the desalinated diluate stream is reused in the plant's water management system. This innovative MEGA technology achieves zero liquid discharge (ZLD) with significant economic and environmental benefits.

To address environmental challenges, MEGA can efficiently demineralize even highly saline water from tailing ponds (TDS 30-40 g/l) resulting from mining operations or processing industries. The electrodialysis-based solution operates in feed-and-bleed mode. After treatment, it produces a very small volume of highly concentrated brine (120-150 g/l) and demineralized water.

The demineralized water can be further purified by reverse osmosis to achieve the quality required for any special application.

Water from drilled wells often contains more salt than permitted by drinking-water standards or required for industrial feedwater. Elevated salt levels in groundwater may occur naturally or result from human activity, such as the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Water from rivers or artificial reservoirs nearly always requires treatment for drinking or industrial use. MEGA offers technologies for demineralizing groundwater and surface water using electrodialysis, pressure-driven membrane processes—especially reverse osmosis—or a combination of both.

Our case studies

High Purity Water Treatment EDI

ENERGY at Ústí nad Labem, Czechia

Rehabilitation and upgrade of process water treatment plant

MEGA supplied High Purity Water Treatment EDI units as part of a novel membrane-only water treatment solution. The facility at ENERGY in Ústí nad Labem, Czechia, needed an upgrade after decades of heavy-duty operation.

Ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and EDI units were selected to process river water into ultrapure water. MPure™ EDI by MEGA has proven capable of operating under demanding conditions with high CO2 levels, coping with variations in feedwater parameters and steadily supplying the heating facility with ultrapure water at a resistivity of over 16 MΩ.

Water treatment from the uranium mining industry

GEAM at Dolní Rožínka, Czechia

Water treatment from the uranium mining industry

Between 1957 and 2016, the GEAM Dolní Rožínka spin-off plant produced 20,220 tonnes of uranium, which was subsequently processed in the Chemical Processing Plant. To eliminate negative environmental impacts, it was necessary to implement closed-cycle process water treatment technology in the Chemical Treatment Plant, as well as water collection in the tailings ponds, both of which contain high levels of organic and inorganic compounds (TDS 34 g/l, SO42- 21.6 g/l).

MEGA has supplied electrodialysis technology since the beginning of the remediation work. In cooperation with RO, it eliminates the negative impact of uranium ore mining and processing. The desalinated stream is discharged into the river after pH control. The remaining concentrate is evaporated to produce the final commercial product - pure Na2SO4.

River water treatment for the chemical industry using electrodialysis

Grupa Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne Police S.A., Poland

River water treatment for the chemical industry using electrodialysis

With the growing volume of fertilizer production, Grupa Azoty is facing a significant increase in its consumption of river-sourced process water.

MEGA installed an EDR system to produce 640 m3/h of demineralized water with a minimum recovery of 87%. The system can respond to current demand and produce different volumes of water at rates of 80, 160, 240, 320, 400, 480, 560 and 640 m3/h. The brackish water treatment system operates 24/7, and the entire system can be cleaned without interrupting production. Chemical cleaning (CIP) is carried out approximately once every two months.
