Hydraulic Characteristics

Backwash

• Resin bed should be expanded between 50 and 70% during up-flow backwash for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
• Expansion helps free particulate matter, clear bubbles and voids, and reclassify 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 advised to prevent resin loss due to over-expansion.

Pressure Drop

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