The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is collaborating with Volker Stevin Canada (VSC) to assess the upgrading of an innovative Electrodialytic (ED) desalination system, which treats salty wastewater and demonstrates superior hydrogen generation and power production during its desalination operations. Volker Stevin Highways Ltd. (VSHL) is a subsidiary of VSC, and its core business focus is local highway transportation networks, infrastructure and construction in Alberta. VSHL previously initiated a lab-scale project in collaboration with SAIT over 10 years ago to investigate and develop an electro-membrane technology which utilizes specialty cation and anion electro-membrane cell pairs with spacers to enhance the separation for water from highly salty water to produce clean water from the run-off water collected in lined retention ponds during their winter road de-icing operations. This collaboration utilized SAIT's applied research expertise and resources in water and waste water treatment, process engineering and chemical technology to develop a novel process funded by the VSC and National Research Council-Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). The main goal of the proposed project is to integrate and assess compatible new and clean technologies for the design and upgrade of the original VSC ED desalination system and will entail the evaluation of technology development of three modular sub-systems: a novel class of electrodialysis stacks associated with shock-electrodialysis, power generation using novel solid oxide fuel cells and power storage using energy storage batteries.

南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）正在与Volker Stevin Canada（VSC）合作，评估创新的电渗析（艾德）脱盐系统的升级，该系统处理含盐废水，并在脱盐操作期间展示上级氢气生成和电力生产。Volker Stevin Highways Ltd.（VSHL）是VSC的子公司，其核心业务重点是阿尔伯塔当地的公路交通网络、基础设施和建筑。VSHL于10年前与SAIT合作开展了一项实验室规模的项目，以研究和开发一种电膜技术，该技术利用具有间隔物的专用阳离子和阴离子电膜电池对，以加强从高盐水中分离水，从而在冬季道路除冰作业期间从内衬保留池中收集的径流中产生清洁水。这项合作利用SAIT在水和废水处理、工艺工程和化学技术方面的应用研究专长和资源，开发了一种由VSC和国家研究委员会工业研究援助计划（NRC-IRAP）资助的新工艺。拟议项目的主要目标是整合和评估兼容的新技术和清洁技术，用于设计和升级原有的VSC艾德脱盐系统，并将需要评估三个模块化子系统的技术开发：一种新型的电渗析堆与冲击电渗析，发电使用新型固体氧化物燃料电池和电力存储使用储能电池。
