Ion Exchange Vessels

Ion Exchange Vessels for the removal of inorganic dissolved solids to prevent scaling.  The ion exchange process is an exchange of one ion for another, using a synthetic resin to perform the transfer of ions. These technologies are widely used for the removal of inorganic dissolved solid impurities from the feed water to steam-generating boilers or other process equipment to prevent scaling and oxidation damage.

  • Vessel Linings: Per vessel construction
  • Design Pressure: As required 
  • Internals: Stainless steel or schedule 80 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 
  • Media: Synthetic strong acid cation resin (sodium form), coarse gravel 
  • Regeneration Method: Sodium chloride brine or user-preferred amine
  • Face Plumbing: Carbon steel, SS or schedule 80 PVC 
  • Valve Operation: Pneumatic, water, electric or manual actuated 
  • Skid Mounted Option: Carbon steel or SS 
  • Controls: Programmable logic controller (PLC), semi or fully-automatic, stager/timer, metered or manual

Benefits

  • Provides extremely low total dissolved solids
  • Efuent service water is near neutral pH (Mixed Bed)
  • Can be automatically regenerated based on manual, time, metered – ow or conductivity
  • Inlet/outlet pressure gauges 
  • Efficient internal designs provide a low-pressure drop across tank when clean 
  • Minimum energy and maintenance requirements 
  • Stand-alone tanks or modular skid-mounted (pre-piped & pre-wired) options

Technical Specifications

  • Remove all cations and anions or to a very low level
  • Total dissolved solids are considered contaminates and cause scaling and under-scale corrosion in industrial processes 
  • Total dissolved solids will scale and foul boiler tubes inhibiting heat transfer
