Continous electrode ...

Continous electrode ionization (CEDI) has been a dream of some people that has been promoted as if the dream may come true in the reality of day.  There are many dream that just don't seem to be workable for industrial applications.  

When I was young and dumb, I obtained 99% ethanol by watching a small destination unit, closely monitoring the distillate temperature: Trying to achieve that on a large scale is more difficult. 

Alternating ion exchange units have been successful for a very long time: they are cheap, and easy to operate.  They don't require a chemical degree to operate for years.  

If you just want to write a paper about your feasibility ​study, go ahead.  If someone else is funding a study, a better result than just another paper should be expected.

Thank you for your suggestion

Honestly, we want to see that can we use CEDI instead of ion exchange. However, the answers show that ion exchange is better and cheaper

That is distillation not destination.  Automatic spell check is sometimes wrong.
