LAS VEGAS — During the 15^th Annual Water Reuse & Desalination Conference, which is set to take place May 16-17 in Las Vegas, Mara Ramos of Arizona State University will present the results of a study that analyzed the performance of no-salt water conditioning technologies.

The presentation, titled “Evaluation of Alternatives to Domestic Ion Exchange Water Softeners,” will include research on several technologies, including template assisted crystallization, electromagnetic water treatment, electrically induced precipitation and capacitive deionization.

According to the conference brochure, results show that the technologies tested were effective in reducing the formation of scale on a heating element — compared to no treatment, the devices were able to reduce scale formation from 42 to 96 percent.
