Running a DI plant is much more expensive, but it is cost-effective with ion exchange resins. Ion exchange resins support the primary function in the water deionization (DI) process. This article will help you get full basic knowledge of the functioning of ion exchange resins.
Resins are unique tiny plastic beads that have addressed the various industrial applications by doing heavy work. They are specialized in each industry. Using resins in nuclear power plant operations is one of the industries in that resins do a fantastic job of supporting the relevant project.
Someone can raise two basic questions regarding the resins used in the nuclear industry.
• Where to use resins in nuclear power plants, and its importance?
• Are there any specially modified resins to use in nuclear power plant applications?
Let’s move with the article to find complete answers to the above questions and gather more details.
Deionization makes ultra-pure water by removing dissolved impurities from water. Some examples of usage of DI water are laboratory applications, pharmaceutical industry, petrochemical processes, food & beverages industry, boiler feeding, cooling applications, aquariums, automotive and electronic equipment manufacturing, etc.
A water softener’s capacity can be defined as the amount of water hardness removed between regeneration processes. The title of water softener capacity is poorly understood by both dealers and the consumers within the field. This article will help you to have simple theories of water softener capacities.
The primary water source that you use for your water softener can contain lots of ions and microbes. Bacteria, mold, and algae have a remarkable ability to adhere to resins and enhance their generation within the resin beds. There are several ways to disinfect polymers.
8% cross-linked softener resins have been used over the years for household water softening applications. But 10% version should be considered in special cases, such as high oxidant levels.
Chlorine and Chloramine degradation, Osmotic shock, and iron fouling build the resin bed weak.
This article discusses the Chlorine and chloramine degradation of resin beds.
Continuous operation of softener may cause for saturation of resin bed. Do we need to replace resins? No, it is not necessary. It is cost-effective with cheaply available regenerate agents and a straightforward method.
Due to their structure, softener resin can divide into gel type and macroporous size. Resin bead standard sizes vary from 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm. Fine mesh resins are more effective in softening than standard mesh sizes.
Using water softener resins for Iron removal will be an effective method, but it will be complicated due to the different forms of Iron in water. pH, Iron, and hardness will be advantageous for iron removal water softeners.
