Softeners
Our Industrial Upflow Softeners are manually operated and designed to suit the requirements of medium-scale industries. They incorporate the proven technique of counter-flow regeneration. The units thus produce treated water with low residual hardness throughout the cycle. A strongly acidic cation exchanger in sodium form is used to exchange sodium ions for the hardness-forming calcium and magnesium, thus producing soft water. At the end of each service cycle, the ion exchanger is regenerated with sodium chloride solution, after which the unit is ready for the next service cycle. For introducing the brine into the unit, a hydraulic ejector with control valve, suction and delivery piping are provided. A combined salt tank which can hold sufficient quantity of salt for a number of regenerations is provided.
The unit is supplied in a knocked-down condition and is easily assembled at site. To meet special requirements, these softeners can be supplied for automatic operation.

Airpac Industrial Upflow Softeners are available in three standard models : S 600/U, S 800/U and S1000/U.
