Portable Electrodialysis Device With Flow Electrode

A portable replenishable scalable electrodialysis device comprising:

• a plurality of electrodialysis cells, each of said cells having a first end and a second end, each of said cells comprising a cell wall, each of said cells comprising removable end caps covering said respective cell first and second ends,
• each of said cells having first and second conductive members extending a length of each of said electrodialysis cells, said first conductive member electrically connected to a first current source having negative polarity and said second conductive member electrically connected to a second current source having positive polarity,
• each of said electrodialysis cells comprising first, second, third, and fourth membranes, said first membrane positioned adjacent said first conductive member, said second membrane positioned adjacent said second conductive member, said third membrane is positioned adjacent said first membrane, said fourth membrane is positioned adjacent said second membrane wherein said first and fourth membranes have a first polarity and said second and third membranes have a second polarity which is opposite of the first polarity of said first and fourth membranes and wherein said first, second, third and fourth membranes are removable from each of said electrodialysis cells,
• each of said cells having first, second, third, fourth and fifth channels, said first channel positioned between said first membrane and said first conductive member, said second channel positioned between said second membrane and said second conductive member, said third channel positioned adjacent said first membrane, said fourth channel is positioned adjacent said second membrane, and said fifth channel is positioned between said third membrane and said fourth membrane,
• wherein said electrodialysis device is connected to a source of water to be desalinated, a source of diluent water and a source of water comprising conductive material, wherein said water comprising said conductive material is flowed through said first channel and said second channel, and said water to be desalinated is flowed through said third and fourth channel and said diluent is flowed through said fifth channel.
