swtwater.com ProSelect™ General Purpose Anion
ProSelect™ General Purpose Anion Resin (P/N ER20004) is designed for multi-bed regenerable systems. It has the highest alkalinity loading capacity of all anion resin types. But what truly makes this a superior resin is its ability to resist organic fouling from water sources where naturally occuring organics are found (ie. surface water). This special formulation makes ProSelect General Purpose easier to regenerate and a longer lasting resin as well.
 
 
APPLICATIONS:
Dealkalization
Deionization

ER20004 Pressure Drop Graph
 
PRESSURE DROP — The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures.
 
 
ER20004 Backwash Graph
 
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. The graph above shows the expansion characteristics of ProSelect™ General Purpose in the chloride form.
