APPLICATIONS |
Softening |
|
SOFTENING CAPACITY — Capacity is based on 2:1 Ca:Mg ratio, 500 ppm TDS as CaCO3, 0.2% hardness in the salt, and 10% brine concentration applied co-currently through the resin over 30 minutes. No engineering downgrade has been applied. |
|
Demineralization
ProSoft Premium (Hydrogen Form) can be used as the cation component in separate bed and mixed bed demineralization applications where a hydrogen form cation resin is coupled with a hydroxide form anion resin. Regeneration is accomplished with stepwise sulfuric acid or with hydrochloric acid.applied. |
|
|
OPERATING CAPACITY — Capacity is based on 500 ppm of stated salt (as CaCO3) with 0% alkalinity, 36 inch bed depth, flow rate of 2 to 4 gpm per cu.ft., and a minimum of 30 minutes chemical injection time. Sulfuric acid concentration must be stepwise when calcium concentration exceeds 20% of total cations. No engineering downgrade has been applied. |
|
Iron Removal
ProSoft Premium has a good capacity for ferrous iron. Iron content in the feedwater should not be more than 1 mg/L Fe per each 17 mg/L of hardness. |
|
Amonia Removal
ProSoft Premium is slightly selective for ammonia compared to sodium, but hardness is much more preferred. Ammonia is not ionized at pH above 9 and is not well removed when the pH is significantly alkaline. |
