® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules DISCLAIMER STATEMENT The operation and maintenance manual should provide complete and accurate information to meet your operating and/or service requirements based on the information available at the time of publication. The information in this manual may not cover all operating details or variations or provide for all conditions in connection with installation, operation and maintenance.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules Cautions indicate a situation that may cause damage or destruction of equipment or may pose a long-term health hazard. Warnings indicate condition, practices, or procedures which must be observed to avoid personal injury or fatalities. IONPURE continually strives to provide safe, efficient, trouble-free equipment using the optimum technology for your application.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. LX Product Family Overview Ionpure LX modules are medium flow rate CEDI devices. Their compact state-of-the-art design assures ease of installation, maintenance, and service. LX modules are available in the following sizes: Size Nominal Flow Description...
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 1.2. Using This Manual Service technicians should review this manual prior to going to the installation site. It lists tools and materials needed to install the modules. It also outlines the site information required to prepare for installation. NOTE: The warranty may be void if installation or operation instructions contained in this manual are not followed exactly.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules · Always flush out the piping to remove any debris before operating the LX module. · Installation of the LX module must be completed in accordance with the procedures outlined in this manual. If deviations from the prescribed procedures are deemed necessary to achieve the desired performance, consult your local Service Provider.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 2. PRE-INSTALLATION: PREPARATION & REQUIREMENTS 2.1. Tools Required · Dolly or forklift to move the module into place · Cords, cables or straps to secure module to dolly or forklift · Slip joint pliers, for tightening of plumbing connectors ·...
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 2.3. Electrical and Plumbing Connection Requirements · Two electrical junction boxes are included with all LX modules, one on each of the LX endplates. A single conduit connection is required through a 1/2” NPT hole on the bottom of either junction box to provide power to the CEDI module.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 2.4.1. Operating Environment The LX module requires indoor installation out of direct sunlight. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 113 °F (45° C). The module can tolerate humidity of up to 90%, as long as condensation does not occur. 2.4.2.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules within these specifications. Depending on the conditions, however, some sites may require additional pretreatment. To determine if additional pretreatment is required, compare the LX feed water on site with the feed water requirements listed below. NOTE: Recycling the LX reject to the RO feed will cause the CO load on the LX to increase, and may have an impact on the LX product water quality.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 3. LX MODULE INSTALLATION 3.1. Preparation Confirm that the pre-installation requirements outlined in Section 2 are met and the system is ready for LX Module installation. · Remove any packaging materials and move the module to its operating location.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 3.2. Checking Tie Bar Torque The nuts on the threaded tie bars can loosen during shipment, and if not retightened the pressure from the incoming water can cause permanent damage. Therefore, the tie bar nut torque must be checked and the module tightened as required after any transport and before flowing water into the module.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 3.3. Water Connection Configuration and Fittings Make sure all upstream pretreatment equipment and piping have been thoroughly flushed with particle-free water before connecting them to the LX Module. Flushing removes any particles left in the piping from cutting and assembly.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules Figure 3-3 LX Piping Adapter Sealing Mechanism: Non-HWS Modules 3.3.2. LX Piping Adapter Sealing Mechanism – HI Modules (BSP Female) The female threads in the LX HI module endblock are BSP parallel threads. They are NOT TAPERED pipe threads and the threads DO NOT CREATE the seal, they allow the sealing surfaces to move towards each other and they hold the piping adapter in place.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 3.4. Electrical Connections All LX modules have two electrical junction boxes (one on each endplate) to allow convenient connection of the module to the DC power supply that provides the driving force for the electrodeionization process. Only one electrical connection is required per module, and either junction box can be used.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules · Ensure that polarity of DC connections is correct before applying DC power. Operation with polarity reversed will permanently damage the cathode. It is critical that the red and black wires are correctly oriented on the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal blocks.
The best way to determine the amount of DC current required is to use the Ionpure projection tool, IP-PRO: https://ippro.evoqua.com/ Alternatively, it can be estimated using the equation below (based on Faraday’s Law). NOTE: Contact local Ionpure Technical support for assistance.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 5. START-UP PROCEDURE 5.1. Test Interlocks · Test flow switches and other interlocks, including the RO interlock if applicable · Test pressure relief if applicable · Set alarm points 5.2. Startup of LX Modules · Make sure that modules are correctly connected to the DC power source. ·...
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules · The maximum allowable LX water recovery depends on feed water concentrations of silica and hardness, as shown in Table 5-2, below. · 95% recovery may not be attainable below nominal product flow, because minimum reject flow must be satisfied (see Table 5-1, above).
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 6. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING The following section details the maintenance procedures for the LX module. It contains general maintenance information and specific maintenance information for cleaning and sanitizing the modules. The cleaning chemical volumes & flows detailed in this section are for a single LX module. Multiply chemical volumes by number of modules in system.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules · Sodium percarbonate – for removing organic foulants, reducing pressure drop, and sanitizing. · Peracetic acid – used for routine sanitizing to discourage the growth of bacterial films. · Aggressive multi-agent cleaning – this sequential cleaning protocol of caustic, percarbonate, brine and acid is recommended for heavily biofouled systems.
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 6.5. Chemical Cleaning and Sanitization Precautions · Avoid direct skin contact with cleaning chemicals. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, gloves and protective clothing. Consult SDS from chemical supplier, or International Chemical Safety Card if available. See https://www.ilo.org/safework/info/publications/WCMS_113134/l ang--de/index.htm ·...
® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules · Fill the tank with the required amount of water, according to the applicable solution recipe in Section 6.7. · Circulate water through the CEDI system, check CIP apparatus for leaks, fix any leaks if present. ·...

® IONPURE LX CEDI Modules 6.9. Hot Water Sanitization (HWS) Only the LX-HI series of Ionpure CEDI modules is compatible with hot water sanitization at 80-90°C. It is important to maintain feed pressure below 30 psig during hot water sanitization to prevent module damage. Water used for HWS must meet all feed water specifications for continuous operation given in Table 2-3 (except temperature).
