Pre-conditioning of Resin

1. Load resin in the column and carry out backwash with process water to expand resin bed at least 50%-60% for 10 minutes. Allow resin to settle and drain water from the column up to resin bed level.
2. Fill resin column with 2 BV DI water and soak it for minimum 12 hrs.
3. Drain water up to resin bed level.
4. Carry out brine regeneration using 8 lb/cft NaCl as 6% solution at 2 BV/hr flow rate. Rinse with DM water until effluent is chloride free.

Testing

Sampling and testing of ion exchange resins are done as per standard testing procedures, namely ASTM D-2187 and IS-7330, 1998.
