Electromat* Electrodialysis (ED)

For Whey Demineralization

GE focuses on improving our customers’ proc-

esses and enhancing their products with our Elec-

tromat Electrodialysis (ED) and Bipolar

Electrodialysis (BPED) Systems. Our history in ED

began in 1950 when Ionics developed the first ED

system. We expanded into process applications in

1961 when Ionics with Wyeth & Foremost devel-

oped and installed the first whey ED production

system. Acquired by GE in 2005, Ionics and now

GE have continued to research and develop the

technology over six decades to improve its per-

formance.

Description & Use

Rich in milk sugar (lactose) and whey proteins, re-

duced minerals whey is used in infant formula, ice

cream, energy drinks, dry mixes and other food

products. Since reduced minerals whey is becom-

ing a more common ingredient in food, there is a

growing need for efficient and cost effective dem-

ineralization processes. GE’s ED systems can meet

this need.

Dairy Solutions Processed by ED

• Sweet whey

• Acid casein whey

• Whey protein concentrate

• Delactosed whey

• Skim milk

• Whey UF permeate

• Mother liquor

Customer Benefits

Economical

• Increases profits by enhancing product value.

• No chemical regeneration required, reducing

chemical consumption and disposal.

• Minimal dilution of solids, for lower

evaporation cost.

• True continuous process. Typical hold-up time

is <15 minutes.

• Continuous production of 25 to 90%

demineralized whey without blending.

• Cost-efficient manufacturing and ED stack

design for lower operational expense.

• Organic fouling resistant for reduced down

time and lower membrane replacement costs.

• Number of cell pairs in the ED stack can be

adjusted to optimize efficiency, as well as

operational and capital cost.
