Context & Assumptions

Demineralization efficiency is a vital metric in Electrodialysis systems used for processing food and beverages, such as fruit juices. It measures the effectiveness of ion-exchange membranes in removing mineral salts to improve product stability and flavor. Monitoring these parameters helps optimize energy use and maintain membrane health in continuous flow processes.
