Amberjet 1000 H

Summary

Product identification

AMBERJET™ 1000 H is an industrial grade strong acid cation exchanger. It is a uniform particle size, high quality resin designed for general demineralisation systems. It can be used as a direct substitute for conventional gel cation exchange resins in new or existing equipment.

Regeneration

• Regenerant: HCl
  • Level (g/L): 40 to 150
  • Concentration (%): 4 to 10
• Regenerant: H₂SO₄
  • Level (g/L): 40 to 200
  • Concentration (%): 0.7 to 8

* 1 BV (Bed Volume) = 1 m³ solution per m³ resin

Performance

Operating capacity and sodium leakage are dependent on water analysis, temperature, and regenerant level. Engineering data sheets (EDS 0762 A, 0763 A, 0764 A and 0765 A) provide information for calculations with hydrochloric and sulphuric acid, using co-flow or reverse flow regeneration.

Limits of use

AMBERJET 1000 H resin is suitable for industrial uses. For pharmaceutical, food processing, or potable water applications, advice from Rohm and Haas is recommended to determine the best resin choice and optimum operating conditions.

Hydraulic characteristics

Figures 1 and 2 (in the original document) show bed expansion and pressure drop data, respectively. These are presented as a function of backwash flow rate, service flow rate, and water temperature. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the service run with clear water and a correctly classified bed.
