Water Softening Technology for Industrial and Commercial Usage

Water Softening Plant (Softener) Manufacturer custom made plants allows hard water to filter down through a bed of ion exchange resin. The ion exchange resin attracts the calcium and magnesium ions (hardness) and replaces them with sodium ions. This is a benefit for water systems and plants because it prevents scale build-up. How does a Water Softener Work? A Water Softening Plant is usually made up of two tanks: a larger one where rock or pellet salt is added, and a smaller tank that contains the ion exchange resins. A control valve causes the system to recharge or regenerate when the ion exchange resins are saturated with hardness. The heart of a water softener is a mineral tank. It’s Filled with small polystyrene beads, also known as resin or zeolite. The beads carry a negative charge. Calcium and magnesium in water both carry positive charges. This means that these minerals will cling to the beads as the hard water passes through the mineral tank. Sodium ions also ha
