Hydraulic Characteristics
Backwash
During up-flow backwash, the resin bed should be expanded between 50 and 70% for at least 10 to 15 minutes. This operation helps to free particulate matter, clear the bed of bubbles and voids, and reclassify resin particles. When first putting into service, approximately 30 minutes of expansion is usually sufficient. Bed expansion increases with flow rate and decreases with influent fluid temperature. Caution must be taken to avoid resin loss through the top of the vessel by over expansion.
Pressure Drop
The pressure drop across the resin bed depends on particle size distribution, bed depth, voids volume, flow rate, and influent solution viscosity. Factors such as particulate matter, abnormal resin compressibility, or incomplete bed classification can increase head loss. Service flow rates may vary from 10 to 40 BV/h, depending on water quality, application, and plant design.
Regulatory Approvals
Certified by the WQA to NSF/ANSI-61 Standard.
