Ion Exchange Pilot

Teaching objectives

• According to the analysis of the water and flow to be treated or the desired quality to obtain, one can choose.
• The resin to test.
• The type of regenerating.
• The quantity of regenerating.
• The flow and function type (co-current, counter-current).
• Measuring the resin capacity according to the regeneration and then calculation the material balances (Ca²+, TH, TA, TAC).

Technical specifications

• Two Altuglass columns (for regeneration)..
• Two Altuglass columns (for processing).
• The columns are removable to change the resins.
• 1 litre of anionic resin.
• 1 litre of cationic resin.
• 1 polypropylene centrifugal pump.
• 5 transparent PVC tanks.
• 1 Conductivity measuring sensor with digital display.
• Five measuring sensor layouts. The measuring sensors are moved in the layouts according to the chosen processes.
• Two fluid circuits to feeding the columns either in co-current or counter-current mode.
• Control panel including a synoptic with diodes to improve the circuit understanding according to the different regeneration /processing stages. It includes the pump control and safety protection, the conductivity measuring transmitters. All the piping is in PVC, the pilot is mounted on a stainless steel frame.

Option :

• Another conductivity measuring sensor with digital display

Dimensions

• 1400 x 800 x 1900 mm

Essential requirements
