swtwater.com ProSelect™ Nitrate
ProSelect Nitrate is a chloride form macroporous nitrate selective strong base anion resin. It has a unique functionality that increases selectivity for nitrate and decreases selectivity for sulfate. This results in higher operating capacity, lower leakage, and freedom from nitrate dumping if operated past sulfate break. It is intended for all nitrate removal applications, and can also be used to remove perchlorate.

APPLICATIONS:
Nitrate Removal
ProSelect Nitrate is used in the chloride form to remove nitrates from potable water. It has a unique amine functional group that eliminates the possibility of nitrate dumping. ER20002 has reduced affinity for sulfate which provides high operating capacity and efficient regeneration. When treating waters with high hardness, the brine dilution and displacement waters should be softened and a low hardness salt used to prevent scaling.

ER20002 Leakage Mid Cycle Graph
 
CAPACITY AND LEAKAGE — Capacity and leakage based on 10% NO₃ and 40% SO₄ in the feed and 35.7 ppm NO₃ endpoint (all as CaCO₃). Capacity and leakage are for nitrate alone. TDS is for total anions as CaCO₃. No engineering downgrade has been applied.
