MBD-30
PDF datasheet mirror for MBD-30 (ResinTech). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
- Product Name: MBD-30
- Product Type: Mixed Bed, Color-Indicating, High-Capacity Mixed Bed, Polystyrene Gel, H/OH Form
- Manufacturer: ResinTech, Inc.
- Revision: 1.0
Polymer Matrix
- Matrix Type: Styrenic Macroporous
- Functional Group: Sulfonic Acid / Trimethylamine
- Physical Form: Spherical Beads
- Color: Amber & Blue (The anion component is dyed blue and turns amber as it exhausts)
Operating Limits
- Maximum continuous temperature: 140°F (This is lower than the Temp Limit of 250°F (121°C) listed under TYPICAL PROPERTIES)
- Operating pH range: 2 to 12 SU
- Maximum pressure loss: 25 psi
Feed Water
- Note on Capacity: Mixed Bed throughput capacity is based on stated inlet conductivity of neutral pH waters and run to a 1 µS/cm endpoint. TDS is based on NaCl (2.5 µS/cm/ppm as CaCO₃). Different salts may have different contributions to TDS. Capacity is based on the anion component and is for virgin resin. Subsequent cycles after initial exhaustion and regeneration will likely be shorter.
Product Water
- Endpoint Conductivity: 1 µS/cm (for capacity calculations)
Mechanical / Hydraulic
