ProSelect™ ER20009 (P/N ER20009) is a high capacity, shock resistant, macroporous, tertiary amine, weakly basic anion resin supplied in the free base form as moist, tough, uniform, spherical beads. ER20009 has tremendous regeneration efficiency and low rinse requirements and is also capable of reversibly adsorbing large organic ions. ER20009 has superior kinetics and greater resistance to oxidation and osmotic shock than standard gel type weak base resins. ER20009 is intended primarily for use in multiple bed demineralizers, resource recovery, and waste treatment applications. ER20009 can be used in multiple bed systems to protect strongly basic resins from fouling while decreasing regenerant consumption. |

APPLICATIONS: |
Deionization
ER20009 can be used in a two-bed system following a strong acid cation exchanger, such as ProSoft™ Premium, where weak acid ions (silica and carbon dioxide) do not have to be removed. Where complete anionic removal is required, ER20009 can be placed ahead of a strong base anion exchange resin, such as ProSelect™ Silica, where it will efficiently remove strong acids, such as chlorides, sulfates, and nitrates. ER20009 exhibits tremendous regeneration efficiency (90%) and as an added benefit can be regenerated with waste caustic from the strong base anion unit. ER20009 can also be used as the top layer of a stratified anion unit, with ProSelect™ Silica as the bottom layer.
Organics
ER20009 has the ability to reversibly adsorb organic molecules like the naturally occurring humic and tannic acids that are primarily responsible for organic fouling. It can be used in a separate bed, ahead of the strong base exchanger to remove organics and strong acid ions. When used in this scheme ER20009 protects the strongly basic anion exchanger from becoming fouled. |

PRESSURE DROP — The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures. |

|
BACKWASH — After each cycle the resin bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 50 to 75 percent. This will remove any foreign matter and reclassify the bed. |
