Help with Ion Exchange Equipment facets:
Operating Flow Rates
Backwash systems are used to regenerate the ionic species that drive the exchange process. The timing and frequency of these actions can be controlled either manually or through a variety of automatic means ranging from regularly scheduled operation, total volume flow, chemical sensor feedback, etc.

| Continuous Flow Rate | This is the flow rate when the system is running at an optimal, steady-state condition. Because these systems often run discontinuously, it is important to design them for the most efficient use and to account for periods of peak flow. | ||

Removal Application

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Water Softening | Water softeners eliminate calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions from “hard” water. Hard water prevents soap from lathering well and can cause scale to accumulate in industrial boilers and pipes. | ||
| Precious and Heavy Metals | Ion exchange resins are used to concentrate precious and heavy metals in water-based or solvent-based mixtures that contain large amounts of contaminants. These resins are used in applications such as the recovery of copper, nickel, cobalt and precious metals from plating solutions. | ||
| Organic Materials | Ion exchange resins are used to process organic materials. For example, in sucrose processing, the feed streams can be softened, sugar can be recovered from molasses, and ion exchanges can be used for decolorization. | ||
| Dealkalization | Many industrial processes require the mitigation of hardness and the removal of dissolved alkaline solids that can harm process performance and reduce system life. | ||
| Demineralization | Ion exchange demineralization is a two-step process that involves treatment with both cation and anion exchange resins. The net effect is the removal of electrolytes and a yield of purified water. | ||
| Radioactive Materials | Ion exchange systems can capture trace amounts of radioactive materials (nuclides) from nuclear power plants and well water in order to minimize environmental impact. | ||
| Condensate Polishing | Condensate polishing uses ion exchange systems to reduce particulate matter and dissolved contaminants in condensates from utility power plants. | ||
| Ultra Pure Water | Ultra pure water is essential for the fabrication of electronic components such as printed and integrated circuit boards, semiconductors, etc. | ||
| Purification | Purification by ion exchange removes acids, alkalis, salts or mixtures from anionic or slightly ionized substances. Examples include the removal of formic acid from formaldehyde solutions, the removal of amines from methanol, and the removal of iron from steel pickling operations. | ||
| Nitrate Removal | Ion exchanges are used to remove nitrates from water. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted removal applications. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Food / Medical / Sanitary | Food, medical, and sanitary applications are regulated by government or industry. They require the elimination of contaminants and high purity for analytical testing. | ||
| Industrial | Systems are intended for industrial applications such as electronic component manufacturing, automotive painting and finishing, etc., where ionic contamination can impact quality and performance. | ||
| Residential | Systems are intended for use in single-family residences or high density, multiple-dwelling structures such as apartments and condominiums. Typically, water is softened for improved cleaning and bathing, and to eliminate ionic contaminants that affect taste. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Manual | Ion exchange systems require manual backwashing or flushing to regenerate the exchange medium. | ||
| Automatic | Ion exchange systems automatically backwash or flush the exchange medium based on time based on time, volumetric operatin, chemical sensing, etc. | ||
