Hydraulic Characteristics

Backwash

• Bed Expansion: Resin bed should be expanded between 50 and 70% during up-flow backwash for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
• Initial Service Expansion: Approximately 30 minutes of expansion is usually sufficient to properly classify the bed when first putting into service.
• Factors Affecting Expansion: Bed expansion increases with flow rate and decreases with influent fluid temperature.
• Caution: Avoid loss of resin through the top of the vessel by over expansion.

Pressure Drop

• Factors Affecting Pressure Drop: Particle size distribution, bed depth, voids volume, flow rate, and viscosity of the influent solution. Also affected by particulate matter, abnormal resin compressibility, or incomplete bed classification.
• Service Flow Rates: May vary from 10 to 40 BV/h depending on influent water quality, application, and plant design.
