Fully automatic water softening equipment solution

Released Date: Jan 07,2016 Article Source: Yuanlai Water Treatment
The working principle of the water softening equipment: The fully automatic sodium ion exchanger adopts the ion exchange principle to remove calcium, magnesium and other scale-forming ions in water. When the raw water containing hardness ions passes through the resin layer in the exchanger, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are then exchanged with the sodium ions adsorbed by the resin. When the resin adsorbs the calcium and magnesium ions and the sodium ions enter the water, the water flowing out of the exchanger is softened water with the hardness removed. The hardness of water is mainly formed and represented by calcium and magnesium. Therefore, cation exchange resin (water softener) is generally used to replace Ca2+ and Mg2+(which are the main components of scale) in water. As the amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the resin increases, the efficiency of the resin in removing Ca2+ and Mg2+ gradually decreases. When the resin absorbs a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions

  1The working principle of water softening equipment

  The fully automatic sodium ion exchanger adopts the principle of ion exchange to remove calcium, magnesium and other scale-forming ions from water. When the raw water containing hardness ions passes through the resin layer in the exchanger, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are then exchanged with the sodium ions adsorbed by the resin. When the resin adsorbs the calcium and magnesium ions and the sodium ions enter the water, the water flowing out of the exchanger is softened water with the hardness removed.

  The hardness of water is mainly formed and represented by calcium and magnesium, so cation exchange resins are generally used(Water softener)Take the waterCa2+,Mg2+(It is the main component of scale formation)Replace it out and let it enter the resinCa2+,Mg2+The increase, resin removalCa2+,Mg2+Its efficiency gradually decreases.

  When the resin has absorbed a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions, it undergoes regeneration. The regeneration process involves flushing the resin layer with brine from the salt tank to displace the hardness ions on the resin and discharge them out of the tank with the regeneration waste liquid. Thus, the resin regains its softening exchange function.

  2The standard working process of the fully automatic water softening equipment

  The standard working process of the fully automatic water softening equipment mainly includes: operation(Sometimes it is called water production, the same below)Backwashing, salt absorption(Regeneration)Slow rinse(Replacement)Five processes of quick rinse. All the processes of different water softening equipment are very similar. However, due to the differences in actual processes or control requirements, there may be some additional procedures. Any water softening equipment based on sodium ion exchange is developed on the basis of these five processes(Among them, the fully automatic water softening equipment will add a brine recharging process).

  Backwashing of fully automatic water softening equipment: After working for a period of time, the softening equipment will intercept a lot of impurities brought by the raw water on the upper part of the resin. Only after removing these impurities can the ion exchange resin be exposed and the regeneration effect be guaranteed. The backwashing process involves water being washed in from the bottom of the resin and flowing out from the top, which can wash away the dirt trapped at the top. This process usually requires5-15About a minute.

  Fully automatic water softening equipment for salt suction(Regeneration)The process of injecting brine into the resin tank is that traditional equipment uses a salt pump to inject brine, while fully automatic equipment uses a dedicated built-in injector to draw in the brine(As long as there is a certain pressure in the incoming water, it will be fine). In the actual operation of fully automatic water softening equipment, the regeneration effect of salt water flowing slowly through the resin is better than that of simply soaking the resin in salt water. Therefore, deionized water equipment all adopt the method of salt water flowing slowly through the resin for regeneration. This process generally requires30It takes about minutes, but the actual time is affected by the amount of salt used.

  3The system advantages of water softening equipment

  1. Fully automatic control: The module program control automatically performs processes such as water supply, salt absorption, regeneration, backwashing, and forward washing, truly achieving unattended management. It has a working status display panel, making the working status clear at a glance.

  2. Continuous and stable water supply: Based on the comprehensive water quality conditions, it features a memory solidification function, fuzzy program control, and the selection of the optimal regeneration time and salt consumption for regeneration. With just minor adjustments, it can be adapted to the water quality of various regions

  3. Reliable and compact structure: The circulating valve head with an easily compressible sealing ring is integrated with the water softener, saving installation space and enhancing operational reliability.

  4. Dynamic brine generation system: It can automatically dissolve salt, replenish water, and automatically countercurrent and draw salt, ensuring reliable automatic regeneration.

  5. Uniform water distribution system: Self-cleaning high and low position water distributors are adopted to enhance the uniform water flow inside the tank. Impact-resistant structure and resin are utilized to prevent resin loss.

  6. Corrosion resistance: Made of fiberglass reinforced plastic and engineering plastic, it prevents the equipment from being corroded by regenerants and harsh environments. It is a fully enclosed system with no leakage.

  7. Very simple operation: Equipped with both automatic and manual functions, it runs automatically on a daily basis.

  8. Extremely low consumption: The control head that meets environmental protection requirements has extremely low power consumption.

  9. Flexible design selection: With multiple specifications to choose from, it features an elegant and generous appearance, meeting all kinds of user requirements.

  4The application scope of water softening equipment

  Softened water equipment is widely used in boiler water, air conditioning water softening, desalination, high-purity water production, industrial wastewater treatment, heavy metal and metal recovery, etc. Its application scope mainly includes power, electronics, chemical engineering, metallurgy, environmental protection, biology, medicine, light industry, textile and other industries.

EDI ultra-pure water system

EDI ultra-pure water system

Yuan LaiEDIThe ultra-pure water equipment uses electro-deionization technology.EDIElectrodeionization is a water purification method that combines the dual advantages of electrodialysis and ion exchange. It does not require acid-base chemical regeneration and can continuously and stably prepare high-purity ultrapure water. Under the action of a direct current electric field, ion separation in water is completed. At the same time, water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, achieving automatic regeneration of the resin without the need to stop the machine for manual regeneration. The pre-treatment combined with reverse osmosis can prevent oxidized substances from damaging the resin, ensuring stable effluent quality and widely meeting the high-standard water usage requirements of various industries.

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

The non-negative pressure water supply equipment can be directly connected to the municipal water supply network, making full use of the residual pressure of the original network for superimposed water supply. Fully enclosed operation does not require the construction of a domestic water tank, eliminating secondary pollution. Intelligent variable frequency voltage stabilization, energy-saving, quiet and easy installation, it is the preferred equipment for secondary water supply in high-rise residential buildings and commercial buildings.

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment is widely used in central air conditioning, floor heating, industrial closed-loop water circulation, and boiler systems. It integrates automatic pressure stabilization, automatic water replenishment, automatic exhaust, pressure relief and buffering functions.
