INTRODUCTION

Industrial water softeners soften your water for industrial usage by stripping away hardness with resin. The resin acts as an industrial hard water treatment, replacing the hardness in the water with salt (brine) that is periodically regenerated. Ion exchange is a process that removes harsh manganese, iron, calcium, and magnesium ions from your incoming water supply. You will use less detergent, see less hard water build-up, save money on repairs from unnecessary wear and tear on industrial equipment, and be able to conduct business more effectively with softening. From complex manufacturing to doing laundry, there is something for everyone.

HOW TO SIZE AN INDUSTRIAL WATER SOFTENER?

• Exchange capacity: The amount of water that is delivered between regenerations. It is also affected by the amount of ion exchange resin in the softener as well as the amount of salt used for resin regeneration.
• Maximum flow rate: The maximum amount of water needed during any peak usage period. It is critical to document this data in the event of a non-continuous water supply, and it is evaluated in gallons per minute (GPM).

BENEFITS OF WATER SOFTENERS

· Lower Chemical Consumption/Costs

· Lower Energy Usage

· Increased Equipment/Appliance Life 

· Reduced Repair & Maintenance Costs

· Increased Consistency in Water Quality

How many types of water softener available in India?

There are many types of water softener available in India. Some are used in Industrial sector and some are used in residential purpose.

1-Ion exchange softeners

Ion-exchange softeners are widely used in small water systems and individual homes, in addition to industry. One ion from the treated water is exchanged for another ion in the resin by ion-exchange resin (sodium is one component of softening salt, with chlorine being the other). Ion exchange resin exchanges sodium for calcium and magnesium.

The presence of certain metal ions in water causes a variety of problems. These ions interfere with the action of soaps. They also contribute to limescale build-up, which can clog plumbing and lead to galvanic corrosion.

The resin or mineral inside the mineral tank is precisely engineered to remove "hard" particles of lime and calcium using a simple ion exchange mechanism. The electrical charge of the dissolved particles in the entering water differs from that of the resin beads inside the softener tank. Because of the difference in electrical charge, dissolved particles in the water will attach to the resin beads when they come into contact with them, removing them from the water and making it "soft." Because the resin can only hold so many hardness particles, softeners come in a variety of sizes, and regeneration or brining is required.

2-Skid mounted softener

For the military and industry, a skid mount is a highly regarded method of distributing and storing machinery and usually-stationary equipment. Simply put, at the point of manufacture, the machinery is permanently mounted in a frame, on rails, or on a metal Pallet.

The equipment can then be moved and used as a unit in a safe and secure manner. The system was designed to be a triplex alternating system for a chiller plant. The system allows a constant and uninterrupted flow of soft water because two tanks are always online and the third tank is either in regeneration or in standby.

Skid-mounted plants are ideal for installation in remote areas where traditional construction methods are inaccessible. These plants can be built off-site and then relocated to a different location if necessary.
