Description:

The industrial water treatment softening water equipment is an ion exchange softener that removes hardness ions like calcium and magnesium from water using ion exchange resins. This equipment is effective in reducing water hardness, preventing scale formation in equipment and pipes, extending equipment service life, and improving operating efficiency. It comes integrated with an automated control system for easy and efficient operation.

Working Principle:

The softening water equipment functions by softening water through an ion exchange process. The hard water is passed through a filter that is filled with cation exchange resin. The calcium and magnesium ions in the water are exchanged with sodium ions on the resin, reducing the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions and achieving a softening effect. The resin is regenerated by flushing with brine, which restores the resin to its exchange capacity and continues water treatment cycle.

The working steps involved in the process are exchange, backwash, salt absorption, slow flush, and fast flush.

Technical Parameters:

Various factors can affect the regeneration process of resin, including the influent salt content, temperature, regeneration agent purity, regeneration liquid flow rate, regeneration liquid concentration, regeneration agent dosage, resin layer height, and filtration rate.

The salt content of the influent solution can impact the regeneration process of resin. Resin can become saturated with salt, leading to poor performance. It is crucial to have an appropriate salt content for optimum resin regeneration.

Temperature can also impact the regeneration process. Higher temperatures generally enhance the regeneration process, while lower temperatures can slow it down, or at worst, lead to ineffective regeneration.

The purity of the regeneration agent plays an essential role in the process as impurities can contaminate the resin, leading to poor performance and reduced effectiveness. It is critical to use regeneration agents that are of excellent quality and free from impurities.

The regeneration liquid flow rate and concentration can significantly impact the regeneration process. Appropriate flow rates and concentrations are necessary for efficient regeneration. The recommended flow rate for regeneration liquid is between 0.25 and 0.9gpm/ft3 or downstream flow rate of 4~6m/h while countercurrent regeneration should be between 2 and 3m/h, with salt liquid concentration at about 10%.

The regeneration agent dosage is another vital factor that needs to be considered during the regeneration process. The recommended dosage for salt regeneration is 120~240g/l salt regeneration one liter of resin for optimum effectiveness.

The resin layer height and filtration rate can also affect the regeneration process. Resin layer height should be greater than 30ft (762mm), and the recommended filtration rate for small devices can be appropriately increased to between 20 and 30m/h.

Applications:

The use of water is vital in many industries, where it serves varied purposes, depending on the specific industry. Here are some examples of how industries use water for their production processes:

Chemical Industry:

Water is used in various chemical reactions in the chemical industry to ensure that the reaction processes remain stable. The quality of water used for chemical reactions is critical since the presence of impurities can affect the reaction's outcome. Therefore, water treatment is necessary to ensure that the water being used in chemical reactions meets the required quality standards.

Food and Beverage Industry:

In the food and beverage industry, water is used in various ways, including as an ingredient in food production and as a cleaning agent. It is, therefore, essential to treat the water used in food production to meet the safety requirements. Proper treatment of production water helps to ensure that the water quality meets food safety standards.

Pharmaceutical Industry:

The pharmaceutical industry requires high-quality water sources to ensure the hygiene and safety of drug production. Water that is not treated for impurities can result in contaminated products. Therefore, the pharmaceutical industry must use treated water that meets high-quality standards.

Electronics Industry:

Ultrapure water is necessary in the electronics industry for pretreatment to minimize the effect of pollutants on the production process. Impurities in water can negatively impact the performance of electronic devices. Thus, the electronics industry needs to treat water to the quality standards required for their production processes.

Power Generation Industry:

The power generation industry requires softened water to prevent scaling from affecting heat exchange equipment. The production of scale in the equipment can significantly reduce its efficiency, leading to high operational costs. Therefore, the industry uses water softening techniques for boiler feedwater to prevent scaling, ensuring optimal performance of heat exchange equipment.
