Simulated Moving Bed Operation

It is strongly advised to remove oxygen from feed streams and elution water to maximize resin life, with a recommended concentration of less than 0.1 ppm and a maximum of 0.25 ppm.

Hydraulic Characteristics

Estimated bed expansion and pressure drop data as a function of backwash flowrate, service flowrate, and temperature are provided in the original document (Figures 1, 2, and 3). Equations for calculating these parameters at different temperatures are also included.
