Electrodeionization (EDR & EDI) Course RegistrationSCTCbanner.gif (3644 bytes)

Each class in the High-Purity Water Treatment Curriculum consists of 2 credits at a tuition & fee cost of $150.26 per credit, plus CEA administration fees of $4.74 per credit.  In addition, this course will require the purchase of the digital text, Electrodeionization (2007, Byrne) for $30.00 per registrant.   The subtotal cost for the tuition, fees, and text is thus $340.00.  (Note: The digital text will not be provided until the beginning of the course.)  Financial assistance is available from CEA for select students.  Begin the registration process using the button below or contact CEA.

Prospective students should register for the class as part of the Spring semester at St. Cloud Technical College.  Registration is currently being accepted by CEA.  The first class chatroom session is scheduled for January 30, 2007, and registration will be accepted through that week.  NOTE: You do not need to designate whether you wish the standard or "Honors" curriculum when you register.  Please feel free to contact CEA (+952-471-0017) if you have questions.

Course Outcomes and Topics

Outcomes
At the completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1) Understand the relationship between ionic concentrations, total dissolved solids, water conductivity and resistivity
2) Explain how charge can be transferred through water using concepts of electric potential/voltage, water electrolytes, and ionic concductivity
3) Quantify the ionic movement processes using Faraday's Law when given a quantity of cells/cell pairs in an electrodialysis reversal (EDR) stack
4) Identify the streams within an EDR or electrodeionization (EDI) system
5) Quantify the effect of concentrate concentration of EDR and EDI system efficiencies
7) Explain the effect of reversing electrode polarity on organic/inorganic fouling
8) Understand how water splitting can be a disadvantage in EDR systems and an advantage in EDI systems
9) Relate water splitting to pH polarization and the ability to achieve maximum effluent EDI quality
10) Correctly start up and adjust flow rates and voltage/current for an EDR/EDI system

11) Monitor EDR/EDI systems so as to know when maintenanced is required

12) Clean and sanitize an EDI system
