Ion exchange is a special process in water treatment . The special exchange resins that are found in the pressure tanks of such a water treatment system are called ion exchangers.
Working principle
As the name suggests, ions are exchanged during ion exchange. Using our softening systems as an example, calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged with sodium ions. Calcium and magnesium are the substances that later lead to limescale deposits. Sodium, on the other hand, dries largely without leaving any residue.
Advantages of ion exchange
- Effective, efficient process for water softening or water treatment
- Long service life of the water treatment system through regeneration
- Scalability for large and small applications
- The pH value remains the same with pure cation exchangers
- Full demineralization possible by mixing cation exchangers and anion exchangers
