E-Cell Standard Systems
MK-3, 15 to 27 Stacks
Fact Sheet
With the combination of E-Cell and Ionics EDI
technology, GE Water & Process Technologies is
leading the way for Electrodeionization (EDI). Our
E-Cell Standard Systems with MK-3 stacks are
designed for reliable, long-term trouble free
operation, with straightforward control.
Standard Features
• MK-3 E-Cell stacks allow for a simplified system design, removing the need for concentrate recirculation as well as brine injection.
• MK-3 E-Cell stack’s low energy design reduces
electrical requirements and operating costs.
• MK-3 E-Cell stacks are hard piped directly to
the system.
• Concentrate flow is in the opposite direction to
the Dilute flow, thus allowing systems to operate at higher hardness concentrations for
longer periods of time.
• Basic and Premium models available
• GE Fanuc Micro PLC & 6” color Quick Panel
HMI
• Automatic Outlet Divert Valve
• Full Owners Operation & Maintenance Manual,
