ION EXCHANGE: SELECTIVE ION REMOVAL FOR HIGH QUALITY WATER
Using specific resins, Ion Exchange systems demineralize water, guaranteeing high purity and stability in critical industrial processes.
ION EXCHANGE: PURITY AND PRECISION IN INDUSTRIAL WATER TREATMENT
The ion exchange process is one of the most effective water treatment technologies for industries that require high levels of purity and chemical control. This system uses ion exchange resins that remove unwanted ions, replacing them with others of equivalent charge, guaranteeing demineralized water ready for critical processes.
GIGWATER develops customized ion exchange and water demineralization systems to meet the specific needs of each client, ensuring efficiency, reliability and continuous performance.
HOW DOES THE ION EXCHANGE PROCESS WORK?
Ion exchange in water treatment occurs when water passes through columns containing cationic and anionic resins.
These resins capture dissolved impurities (such as calcium, magnesium, sulphates and chlorides) and release desirable ions, resulting in chemically pure water.
This process is essential in applications that require total control over the ionic composition of water, such as boiler feed, pharmaceutical processes, parts washing and chemical formulations.
TYPES OF RESINS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
Water demineralizers use different types of ion exchange resins, each with a specific function in the purification process:
CATIONIC RESIN
ANIONIC RESIN
MIXED BED RESINS
SELECTIVE RESINS
WHERE ION EXCHANGE CAN BE APPLIED IN INDUSTRIES
The water demineralization system is widely used in various industrial sectors, in particular:
-
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: Guarantees water free of salts and minerals for washing parts and painting processes, preventing stains and corrosion.
-
FOOD AND BEVERAGES: Ensures purity in production processes and in the preparation of sensitive inputs.
-
CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR: Indispensable in the production of solutions, reagents and products that require high purity demineralized water.
-
ENERGY AND BOILERS: Prevents fouling and corrosion in thermal systems, increasing the efficiency and lifespan of equipment.
