Amberlite PWA10

Summary

Product identification

AMBERLITE™ PWA10 Resin is a drinking water grade ion exchange resin designed for the removal of boron.

Properties

• Matrix: Macroporous polystyrene
• Physical form: Opaque beige beads
• Total exchange capacity: ≥ 0.7 eq/L
• Moisture holding capacity: 48 – 54%
• Shipping weight: 700 kg/m³ (44 lb/ft³)
• Particle size (Screen grading): 0.3 - 1.2 mm (16 to 50 mesh US Std Screens)
• Fines content (<0.300 mm): 1% max

Suggested Operating Conditions

• Maximum operating temperature: 45°C (110°F)
• Minimum bed depth: 800 mm, recommended 1400 mm (32 in / 56 in)
• Typical service flow rate: 5 to 35 BV/h (0.6 – 4.5 gpm/ft³)
  • 1 BV (Bed Volume) = 1 m³ solution per m³ resin

Consult your Rohm and Haas representative for system design, application testing, and regeneration details.

Commissioning and Limits of Use

AMBERLITE PWA10 resin is suitable for use in potable water applications after an initial commissioning soak in water for 24 hrs followed by a rinse of 5 bed volumes (35 gal/ft³) of potable water at ambient temperature.

The operating capacity depends on the operating conditions.

Hydraulic Characteristics

Pressure drop and bed expansion data as a function of flow rate and water temperature are shown in figures in the original document. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the service run with clean water and a correctly classified bed.

Regulatory

Resin products are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities. Please contact your Rohm and Haas representative for certification information.
