Hydraulic Characteristics

Backwash

• The resin bed should be expanded between 50% and 70% for at least 10 to 15 minutes during up-flow backwash.
• Expansion frees particulate matter, removes bubbles and voids, and reclassifies resin particles.
• Initial classification may require approximately 30 minutes of expansion.
• Bed expansion increases with flow rate and decreases with influent fluid temperature.
• Caution is required to prevent resin loss through the top of the vessel due to over-expansion.

Pressure Drop

• Pressure drop depends on particle size distribution, bed depth, void volume, flow rate, and influent solution viscosity.
• Factors like filtered particulate matter, abnormal resin compressibility, or incomplete bed classification can increase head loss.
• Service flow rates can range from 10 to 40 BV/h, depending on influent water quality, application, and plant design.
