Water Softening Systems

Water softening devices are used to separate Calcium (Ca+) and Magnesium (Mg+) ions from water, which cause hardness. Water softening process is a process based on the ion exchange principle that enters the chemical treatment part. Ion exchange process using synthetic resins as filter material; It is achieved by passing water containing (Ca+) and (Mg+) ions, which cause hardness, through a sodium-based cationic resin. During this transition, the water softening process is achieved by replacing the Ca and Mg+ ions in the water with the Sodium (Na+) ions bound to the resin. During the water softening process, the minerals in the hard water passing through the resin bed gradually cover the resin. The water softening process continues until the surfaces of the resin grains are completely covered with hard water minerals. When the resins are completely covered, they need to get rid of the hardness ions on their particles and reload them with sodium ions in order to regain the hardness. This process is called regeneration process. Calcium and Magnesium in water adhere to the Resin.

What Should Be Considered When Choosing a Water Softener?

• Selection of tanks according to the amount of resin to be used,
• Determining the amount of resin to be used,
• Calculation of peak flow rate and nominal flow rate according to the hardness value of water,
• Appropriate selection of the speed of water passing through the tank,
• Most importantly, the causes that adversely affect the softening of water must be eliminated before softening.

Deionization systems

Deionization purification systems are designed to meet the needs of industries such as the glass industry, laboratories, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, textile and energy sectors that require high quality pure water. Untreated raw water contains negatively charged anions and positively charged cations. Units that perform deionization are called cationic units when removing cationic ions and anionic units when removing anionic ions. In some cases, cations and anions are removed in the same unit, such units are called mixed bed ion exchangers (Mix-Bed). In this unit, water is first passed through cationic resin to replace positively charged ions with hydrogen ions, and then through anionic resin to replace negatively charged ions with hydroxide ions. Thus, highly pure water is obtained. As a result of use, the resins reach saturation and the processing efficiency decreases. In this case, the cationic resin is regenerated with acid and the anionic resin with caustic. Thanks to the regeneration process, the resins regain the reduced efficiency. The deionization process varies depending on many factors such as water quality and economy, ion exchange type and regeneration type.

Deionization systems usage areas;

• In the Automotive Industry
• In Industrial Facilities Where Pure Water Need Is High
• In Chemical Products
• In Cosmetic Products
• In Pharmaceutical Industry
• In Surface Coating Factories
• Dealkalization systems

Dealkalization systems;

Alkalinity of water is the increase in pH due to carbonates and bicarbonates in water.
Due to the white precipitate and similar problems that occur during the use of water with high alkalinity, the work quality of many sectors that require pure water in their processes, such as the textile, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and energy sectors, is negatively affected. While removing hardness in water is done with sodium-based resins, carbonate and bicarbonate selective anionic resins are used to remove alkalinity in water.

Dealkalization systems are installed before softening systems, reducing the workload and salt consumption of your softening system and also reducing the chemicals to be used by 6-8%. Thus, system efficiency and usage time are increased.
