Electrodialysis is making a comeback. Once niche, ED and EDR are being reinvented with smarter membranes, modular stack designs, and solar-powered operation. BlueTech Analyst Dr. Vishal Wagholikar joins Rhys and Divya to explore how these innovations could enable off-grid desalination, resource recovery, and low-cost acid and base generation.
The conversation then shifts to policy, with the proposed Advancing Water Reuse Act offering a 30% U.S. tax credit that could transform industrial reuse economics—boosting uptake among data centers, semiconductor plants, and utilities.
They close on lithium, spotlighting the UK’s first commercial DLE project and a Veolia patent targeting zero-liquid discharge and circular lithium recovery. Together, these stories reveal where technology, regulation, and resource security now intersect in water innovation.
