E-Cell* MK-3Pharm Stack
Electrodeionization (EDI) Stacks for Pharmaceutical Applications
E-Cell *MK-3Pharm is designed to:
Provide Ultrapure Water for Pharmaceutical
applications.
Produce Mixed Bed quality water on a
continuous basis.
Require no caustic or acid for regeneration of
mixed bed resin within the stack.
Be leak free, guaranteed
Eliminate brine injection and concentrate
recirculation, simplifying system design.
Description and Use
MK-3Pharm E-Cell stacks are electrodeionization
(EDI) stacks which use electrical current to deion-
ize and polish reverse osmosis (RO) permeate wa-
ter. The product water for the MK-3Pharm is at
greater than USP quality levels required in today’s
Pharmaceutical applications.
