Scale is a very common problem encountered in
cooling water systems. Scale retards heat exchange,
accelerates fouling, promotes certain types of corrosion and
microbial growth and increases pumping back
pressure.
These all can translate to unscheduled delays, decreased plant efficiency, reduced productivity and reduced
profitability.

SOFTENING THROUGH ION SOFTENING THROUGH ION EXCHANGEEXCHANGE
The softening of water by ion exchange The softening of water by ion exchange involves the replacement of calcium and involves the replacement of calcium and magnesium ions in water by an equivalent magnesium ions in water by an equivalent number of sodium ions. This eliminates the number of sodium ions. This eliminates the undesirable characteristics of hardness in undesirable characteristics of hardness in water, as sodium salts do not form scale. The water, as sodium salts do not form scale. The chemical reaction is as under:chemical reaction is as under:

SOFTENING THROUGH ION SOFTENING THROUGH ION EXCHANGEEXCHANGE
The sodium ion exchanger contains only a finite The sodium ion exchanger contains only a finite number of exchangeable sodium ions. This number number of exchangeable sodium ions. This number is known as the capacity of the resin. When this is known as the capacity of the resin. When this capacity has been exhausted, i.e., sodium ions have capacity has been exhausted, i.e., sodium ions have been replaced by calcium or magnesium, been replaced by calcium or magnesium, regeneration of the resin back to sodium form regeneration of the resin back to sodium form becomes necessary. Resin bed is regenerated with a becomes necessary. Resin bed is regenerated with a downward flow of brine. Later, resin bed is rinsed downward flow of brine. Later, resin bed is rinsed free off brine. The chemical reaction is as under:free off brine. The chemical reaction is as under:

Regeneration of Resin through brine solution is as follows:Regeneration of Resin through brine solution is as follows:
