Hydraulic Characteristics

Bed expansion and pressure drop data are provided in graphical format (Figures 1 and 2). These are dependent on backwash flow rate, water temperature, service flow rate, and bed depth. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the service run with clear water and a correctly classified bed.

Limits of Use

AMBERJET 1000 H resin is suitable for industrial uses. For pharmaceutical, food processing, or potable water applications, consult Rohm and Haas for guidance.
