Ion Exchange

The Ion Exchange (IX) system design in WAVE allows sizing of new systems, evaluating the performance of existing ones and retrofitting existing plants to the Upcore™ system. In order to design a new Ion Exchange system, it is important to understand the main inputs needed to help obtain an accurate and optimized design. These inputs include information about the feed water composition, required feed water or product water flow rate, vessels and regeneration system, regeneration conditions and product.

Once all this information is introduced in the system design software, it will populate a detailed Ion Exchange System Design report which includes a general process flow diagram, resins properties, sizing of vessels, regeneration protocols, water quality and estimation of chemicals and energy consumption, among others.

IX system specification includes the following steps:
