Hydraulic Characteristics

Bed expansion and pressure drop data are provided in graphical form in the original document. These characteristics are dependent on backwash flow rate, water temperature, and service flow rate.

Food Processing Considerations

Users are advised to consult with their representative to determine the best resin choice and optimum operating/regeneration conditions, as governmental regulations vary by country.
