Suggested Operating Conditions
- Polyols (Ca²⁺ form) Syrup Temperature: 60 – 65°C (140 – 149°F)
- Oligosaccharides (Na⁺ form) Syrup Temperature: Depends on the application
- Polyols (Ca²⁺ form) Syrup pH: 5 – 7
- Oligosaccharides (Na⁺ form) Syrup pH: Depends on the application
- Dissolved Oxygen Concentration (Recommended): < 0.1 ppm
- Dissolved Oxygen Concentration (Maximum): 0.25 ppm
- Simulated Moving Bed Operation: With optimized tuning (annually)
- Note: Oxygen should be removed from feed streams and elution water to maximize resin life.
Hydraulic Characteristics
Estimated bed expansion as a function of backwash flowrate at 25°C (77°F) is shown in Figure 1. Estimated pressure drop as a function of service flowrate and viscosity is shown in Figure 2. Equations are provided to calculate flowrates for other temperatures.
