Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Industrial water softeners treats water for industrial use by using resin to remove hardness from the water. The resin substitutes the water’s hardness with salt (brine), which regenerates annually. This is the exchange of Ions, which eliminates from the water supply hard ions like manganese, iron, calcium, and magnesium. You can use less detergent, see less hard water buildup, save money on repairs from excessive wear and tear on industrial machinery, and be able to conduct business more efficiently with softening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total hardness or calcium and magnesium form a hard scale, which may build up on the pipes, heat exchangers, water heaters, boilers, and other steam machinery. As a result, they carry out expensive repairs, energy consumption, connected heat exchangers, and boiler tubes. Water softeners treat water using resin through the removal of hardness<\/strong>. Resin substitutes for the hardness of salt in water, which frequently regenerates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is hard water? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we say that water is ‘hard,’ then it simply means that it contains more minerals than regular water. These include the minerals calcium and magnesium in particular. When more calcium and magnesium dissolve, the hardness of the water increases. Other positively charged ions can dissolve less readily in hard water than in water that does not contain calcium and magnesium due to their presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are water softeners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water softening is a method of water purification that employs ion exchange technology.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is to remove naturally occurring minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water. This can hence prevent buildup in pipes and appliances. We often use this method in commercial and industrial environments to improve ease-of-use and extend the life of water-handling equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through ion exchange, a water softener eliminates minerals found naturally in water sources. Water is filtered through plastic resin beads that have been coated with sodium molecules. These then interact with magnesium, calcium, and other metallic minerals. Because calcium and magnesium ions are positively charged, they interact with negatively charged resin beads. When the beads interact with the hard minerals, they capture their positive molecules, and releases sodium into the water. Sodium molecules replace calcium and magnesium molecules, lowering the mineral content of the water. As a result, avoid buildup and interfering with cleaning chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to size a water softener?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a commercial water softener for your company, one of the most important factors to consider is size. The proper water softener would ensure a consistent and effective flow of softened water while wasting no energy. We would consider the following factors when determining the appropriate size for your needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Flow rate: The rate at which water flows through your facility, particularly during peak operation.<\/li>
  2. Volume: During peak operation, the quantity of water goes through the plant.<\/li>
  3. Water composition: The concentration of calcium, magnesium, and other hard minerals in the water supply.<\/li>
  4. Softening required: The amount of softening material needed to soften the water, expressed in grains per day.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        What are the advantages of industrial water softeners over residential water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Even in some industries, residential water softeners are favored over industrial water softeners. Still, industrial water softeners have some benefits over residential water softeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
