Summary
Product identification
AMBERLITE™ PWA2 Resin
Perchlorate Selective Ion Exchange Resin
Description
AMBERLITE PWA2 resin is an anion exchange resin designed for the selective removal of perchlorate from drinking water. It offers excellent perchlorate capacity in the presence of competing ions such as sulfate and nitrate, making it suitable for municipal water treatment systems.
Limits of Use
- Suitable for potable water applications after an initial commissioning rinse of 20 bed volumes of water at ambient temperature at service flow rate.
- The operating capacity depends on operating conditions and feed water conditions.
Regulatory
- Certified to ANSI / NSF Standard 61 for drinking water components.
- Resin products are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities.
