AmberLite IRA910 Cl

Summary

Product identification

AmberLite™ IRA910 Cl Ion Exchange Resin is a macroporous, strong base anion (Type II) exchange resin designed for industrial demineralization applications.

Description

This is a general-purpose demineralization resin known for reliable performance in co-flow regenerated industrial water treatment systems. Its macroporous structure offers good resistance to organic fouling and physical stresses, potentially leading to a longer resin lifetime compared to gel Type II resins. Type II resins generally provide greater operating capacity due to more complete regeneration than Type I resins.

This resin is best suited for water where silica and carbon dioxide do not exceed 30% of the total anions, and where service and caustic regeneration temperatures do not consistently exceed 35°C (95°F). For applications requiring low effluent silica or higher operating temperatures, a Type I strong base anion resin, such as AmberLite™ IRA900 Cl, is recommended.

Applications

• Demineralization in situations with:
  • High organic fouling potential
  • Removal of strong and weak acids
• Dealkalization

System Designs

• Co-current regeneration
