Hydraulic Characteristics

Backwash

• During up-flow backwash, the resin bed should be expanded in volume between 50% and 70% for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
• Bed expansion increases with flow rate and decreases with influent fluid temperature.
• Caution must be taken to avoid loss of resin through the top of the vessel by over expansion of the bed.

Pressure Drop

• Service flow rates may vary from 10 to 40 BV/h, depending on influent water quality, application, and plant design.

Typical Packaging

• 1 ft³ Sack
• 25 L Sack
• 5 ft³ Drum (Fiber)
• 1 m³ Supersack
• 42 ft³ Supersack

Advantages

• Efficient regeneration
• Good kinetic performance
• Low extractables
