(SDI) Solutions
Pure water through SDI…it’s what we do
GE’s Service Deionization (SDI) solutions provide an ideal
solution for pure water needs in any industry requiring from
1.0 up to 18.2 Megohm water. Whether you require bulk water,
stand-alone products or service, or a complete mobile water
treatment system, GE stands ready to provide the solution for
your ultrapure water needs.
Our solutions for SDI include:
• Integrated Reverse Osmosis (RO)/DI systems
• Complete integrated systems such as MF, RO, RO/DI,
RO/EDI/DI, UV and UF sterilization
• System installation

GE SDI – the answer for your pure water needs
GE’s SDI solutions include:
resins. Resin beds requiring emergency treatment use GE’s
MobileFlow* or MultiFlow* trailers for transport to the nearest
GE Service Center. Turnaround time at the GE Service Center is
24 to 72 hours, depending on quantity and type of
resins received.
DI Columns
• For customers who require small quantities of
pure/ultrapure water
• Provide upstream RO and filtration
• Brine cleaning organics
• Iron fouled cation resins
• Separation of cross-fouled resins
TurboFlo
• Larger SDI tank systems
• High flow pure/ultrapure water needs
• Off-site regeneration preferred

Ion Exchange (IX) Demineralization
• Three resins for demineralization applications:
- Strong Acid Cation (SAC) in hydrogen (H+) form.
- Strong Base Anion (SBA) in hydroxide (OH-) form.
- Mixed Bed polishing for higher purity
• Flows up to 400 GPM in a single trailer
• Flows up to 400 gpm in a single trailer
• Effluent Quality:
- Projected < 0. 5 micromhos and < 20 ppb silica
- Typical < 0.06 micromhos and < 5 ppb silica
