Water quality plays a crucial role in every industrial process. Many industries require high-purity, mineral-free water for efficient operation—and this is where a Demineralized Water (DM) Plant becomes essential.
DM plants remove dissolved solids (TDS), minerals, salts, and impurities from water to produce ultra-pure water suitable for boilers, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, and more.
What is Demineralized Water (DM Water)?
Demineralized water—also known as deionized water (DI water)—is water that has had all dissolved minerals and ions removed, such as:
-
Calcium
-
Magnesium
-
Chlorides
-
Sulphates
-
Nitrates
-
Silica
It is produced using ion exchange technology, making it far purer than filtered or softened water.
How Does a Demineralized Water (DM) Plant Work?
A typical DM Plant uses Cation and Anion Exchange Resin Units to remove dissolved impurities.
1. Cation Exchange Unit
Raw water passes through a cation resin bed, replacing positive ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺) with H⁺ (Hydrogen) ions.
2. Anion Exchange Unit
The water then enters an anion resin bed, replacing negative ions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻) with OH⁻ (Hydroxide) ions.
3. Mixed Bed Polisher (Optional)
For ultra-high purity, both resins are mixed together to polish the water, producing extremely low conductivity DM water.
4. Regeneration
Resins are regenerated using chemicals:
-
Cation resin: regenerated with acid
-
Anion resin: regenerated with caustic soda
Benefits of Demineralized Water (DM Water)
1. Mineral-Free High Purity Water
Removes 95–99% dissolved minerals, ensuring consistent quality.
2. Protects Industrial Equipment
Prevents scaling, corrosion, and deposits in boilers, turbines, pipelines, and heat exchangers.
3. Improves Product Quality
Essential for pharmaceuticals, electronics, chemicals, and food industries.
4. Cost Savings
Lower maintenance, reduced downtime, and higher equipment efficiency.
5. Suitable for Multiple Industries
DM water is required anywhere high-purity water is essential.
Industrial Applications of DM Water
DM water plays a vital role in:
1. Power Plants & Boilers
Used as boiler feedwater to prevent deposits and scaling.
2. Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
Ensures purity in drug manufacturing and laboratory use.
3. Electronics & Semiconductor Industry
Required for wafer cleaning, chip production, and circuit washing.
4. Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
Used as process water and in chemical reactions.
5. Food & Beverage Industry
Ensures high-quality production and cleaning processes.
6. Cosmetics & Personal Care
Used in lotions, shampoos, and cosmetics where water purity matters.
Types of Demineralized Water (DM) Plants
1. Two-Bed DM Plant
Has separate Cation and Anion units.
2. Mixed Bed DM Plant
Provides higher purity—ideal for sensitive industries.
3. Automatic DM Plant
