Standard Guide for Water Analysis for Electrodialysis/Electrodialysis Reversal Applications
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The design of an electrodialysis/electrodialysis reversal system is determined by the composition of the feedwater and the desired composition of the product water. The determinations and measurements performed in this guide will provide the necessary information for making design projections of staging and power consumption.
5.2 The recovery at which an electrodialysis/electrodialysis reversal system can be safely operated is dependent on the composition of the feed solution. The determinations measurements performed in this guide will provide data for the calculation of the maximum recovery of a system utilizing a specific feed water.
5.3 The determinations and measurements performed in this guide will be valuable for determining needed pretreatment for meeting specific product water requirements with the specific feed water.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the determinations that should be performed on any given water if processing by electrodialysis/electrodialysis reversal is being considered.
1.2 This guide is applicable to all waters but is not necessarily complete for wastewaters.
1.3 This is a guide only and should not be construed as a complete delineation of all analysis required for a specific application.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM D5091-23: Standard Guide for Water Analysis for Electrodialysis/Electrodialysis Reversal Applications provides a comprehensive methodology for analyzing water intended for electrodialysis (ED) and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) processes. Developed by ASTM International, this standard helps industry professionals determine the suitability of feedwater and the necessary pretreatments to achieve desired product water quality. Water quality analysis is a critical step in the design, operation, and optimization of ED/EDR systems, directly impacting process efficiency, system longevity, and product water characteristics.
Key Topics
- Water Quality Assessment: Outlines essential measurements of ions, gases, suspended materials, organics, pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and silt density index relevant to ED and EDR applications.
- Design Inputs: Emphasizes the significance of comprehensive feedwater characterization for accurate staging, power consumption estimates, and system recovery limits.
- Pretreatment Needs: Helps in identifying necessary pretreatment steps to meet specific product water requirements when using different feedwater sources.
- Operational Safety & Compliance: Addresses the importance of establishing proper safety, health, and environmental procedures and considering applicable regulatory restrictions.
Applications
ASTM D5091-23 is essential for industries and facilities considering electrodialysis and electrodialysis reversal technologies for water desalination and purification. Typical applications include:
- Municipal and Industrial Water Treatment: Ensures reliable analysis for source waters prior to ED/EDR processing, supporting municipal supply, boiler feed preparation, and food and beverage production.
- Brackish and Seawater Desalination: Guides the analytical procedures for evaluating feedwater from diverse sources including wells, rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
- Reuse and Recycling: Assists in assessing water quality for systems utilizing water recycling or reuse, although the guide is not exhaustive for complex wastewaters.
- Power and Process Industries: Supports pre-operational water studies in power plants and process industries where high purity or specifically conditioned water is required.
By following the recommended analytical procedures, organizations can:
- Optimize system design and operation for efficiency and longevity.
- Minimize scaling, fouling, and membrane degradation.
- Accurately calculate recovery rates and potential yield.
- Ensure that finished water meets regulatory quality standards and end-use specifications.
