Hydraulic Characteristics

Backwash

• Bed should be expanded between 50% and 70% during up-flow backwash for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
• Expansion reclassifies resin particles and ensures minimum resistance to flow.
• Initial service requires approximately 30 minutes of expansion.
• 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

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