De-ionized
What is Deionization?
Deionization (DI) is the removal of all ionized minerals and salts (both organic and inorganic) from a solution through the process of ion exchange. Because most non-particulate water impurities are dissolved salts, deionization produces a high purity water that is generally similar to distilled water. Compared to distillation, deionization is faster, less energy-intensive, and more cost-effective. In addition, it is an on-demand process that supplies highly purified water as needed — an important feature because water at extreme levels of purity degrades quickly.Portable ion exchange service consists of movable tanks or cylinders ranging in volume from a5 cubic feet to 45 cubic feet which incorporate different ion exchange resin types and tank sizes to accommodate different quality and flow rate requirements. The ion exchange tanks remove ionic contaminants that are harmful to many industrial and commercial processes. Eventually the ion exchange tanks reach exhaustion after a certain amount of use and are unable to remove ionic impurities and this is when Puretec will send a service technician to remove the exhausted tanks onsite and replace them with freshly regenerated tanks. All of the equipment, ion exchange resins, regeneration, maintenance and repair is provided by Puretec.
Our DI Water Tanks require no chemical handling or maintenance and provide a reliable source of deionized water (also called demineralized water) up to 18.2 Mega-ohm resistivity. The DI Water tanks come in various sizes, ion exchange resin types and flexible configurations to meet your process water needs with many quality-monitoring options available. We offer same day/next day service and are able to respond 24/7 to emergencies.
Service
Each customer is unique. We recommend the most economical and reliable service unit type for their application, water quality requirements and demand. DI Water tanks can be provided on an as needed basis, a scheduled frequency or as part of a broader preventative maintenance service for your water system. We handle everything from installation to service and take pride in having a strong service culture that focuses on quality and customer satisfaction.
Medical/Laboratory Processes
Deionized water meeting Water For Injection (WFI) standards of purity is used as the basis for saline and other solutions to be injected into the body during medical procedures. Its bacteria-free and mineral-free purity assures the quality and stability of the solution as other ingredients are added to it. DI laboratory water is also used to clean instruments and lab equipment and to perform tissue cell culture, blood fractionation, and other lab procedures.
Pharmaceutical Water/Neutraceutical Water
Deionized water in the pharmaceutical industry is used for preparing culture media, for making up aqueous solutions, and for washing containers and apparatus. It is also used as a raw material, ingredient, and solvent in the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical and neutraceutical products, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates, compendia' articles, and analytical reagents.
Microelectronics/Semiconductor Manufacturing
In semiconductor manufacturing, deionized water's properties for absorbing minerals, enhancing detergents and residue-free drying make it useful for rinsing and cleaning semiconductor wafers. It is also used in wet etching, bacterial testing and many other processes throughout the fabrication facility.
Automotive
Deionized water is commonly used to top up lead-acid batteries, cooling systems and for other applications.
Cosmetics
Deionized water is often used as an ingredient to add purity, stability and performance in many hair care, skin care, body care, baby care, sun care and makeup products, where it is sometimes referred to as "aqua" on product ingredient labels.
Car Wash
When used as a rinse after washing cars, windows, and similar applications, deionized spot-free rinse water dries without leaving spots caused by dissolved solutes, eliminating post-wash wipedowns.
Food and Beverage Processing
Deionized water is used as both an ingredient and a process element in food and beverage processing. As an ingredient, it offers stability, purity and sanitation. As a process element, it is used for effective sanitation.
Industrial Water
In industrial plants, DI water facilitates water and wastewater recycling; adds efficiency and life extension to boiler and steam processes, and is a key element in industrial commercial water softening.
Boiler Water Treatment Equipment
Deionized water is used to pretreat boiler feed water to reduce scaling and energy use and to control deposition, carryover and corrosion in the boiler system. As such, DI water is an essential element in boiler water recycling.
Cooling Towers
Deionized water can pretreat cooling tower make-up water to reduce scaling and energy use in power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas processing plants, food processing plants, semiconductor plants, and other industrial facilities.

Where is DI water used?
Deionized (DI) water is an essential ingredient in hundreds of applications, including medical, laboratory processes, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics manufacturing, food processing, plating, countless industrial processes, and even the spot-free rinse water at the local car wash. Typically, it serves as an ultra-pure ingredient, a "perfect" cleaning solvent, or as the foundation of a process water recovery/reuse strategy.Medical/Laboratory Processes
