Water softening works by retaining the calcium and magnesium ions that cause hardness on a resin. When the resin becomes saturated it is regenerated with brine and the cycle begins again.

It is the most widely used pretreatment stage on boiler feed lines, in cooling systems and ahead of reverse osmosis.

Water Softening Systems
How it works

Stages

  1. 01

    Service

    Raw water passes through the resin bed and hardness is retained.

  2. 02

    Exhaustion

    The resin’s capacity fills up; hardness starts to appear at the outlet.

  3. 03

    Regeneration

    The resin is renewed with brine from the salt tank.

  4. 04

    Rinse

    The system is rinsed and returned to service.

Where it is used

Typical applications

  • Boiler feed

    Protects boiler efficiency by preventing scaling.

  • Ahead of RO

    Reduces scale formation on the membrane.

  • Cooling systems

    Limits scale formation in the circulating water.

  • General utility water

    Hardness removal on in-plant utility lines.

Regeneration of deformed softening resin and recommissioning

All projects →

Why does resin deform?

Resin loses capacity over time when it comes into contact with chlorine, iron or suspended solids, or when the regeneration settings are wrong. The loss shows itself as hardness appearing at the outlet earlier than expected.

That is exactly the work we carried out on our active project in Menemen: emptying out the deformed resin, installing new resin and recommissioning the system.

Frequently asked questions

When does the resin need replacing?

When hardness starts appearing at the outlet earlier than expected. Periodic inspection shows that decline in advance.

Will you replace the resin in our existing softener?

Yes. Resin supply, emptying out, installing the new resin and commissioning are all on us.
