Main Applications of Purolite™ PFC100

Industrial Water Softening: Removes hardness ions to protect boilers and process equipment
Demineralization Systems: Effective for acid regeneration systems
Counterflow and Co-Flow Systems: Optimized for both regeneration systems

Installation & Operational Requirements

Follow industry standards for handling ion exchange resins
Classify and expand the resin bed during initial installation using up-flow backwash (50-70% expansion for 10-15 minutes)
Avoid over-expansion and resin loss by monitoring flow rate and temperature
Ensure the system is designed for the expected pressure drop and flow velocity

Hydraulic Characteristics

Pressure Drop

Pressure drop is affected by flow rate, bead size, bed depth, and water quality. Average service flow rate: 10-40 BV/h.

Backwash

Up-flow backwash should develop the bed 50-70% for 10-15 minutes.
Initial startup requires about 30 minutes of backwash for optimal classification
High flow rates and low water temperatures can lead to greater bed expansion

System Compatibility & Integration

Compatible with standard industrial softening and demineralization system designs
Suitable for counterflow and coflow regeneration systems
Can be integrated with other related softening and demineralization system technologies
