Operating Principle
The Water Softeners are charged with a high capacity polystyrene bead cation exchange resin in sodium form. When hard water passes through this resin column, the hardness forming calcium and magnesium salts are replaced with sodium salts which do not posses any hardness properties. This softening process is continuous until the material is exhausted of sodium salts when it is regenerated with a solution of common salt.
The Water Softener units are designed on the advanced Co current/counter-current principle that ensures consistent good quality treated water.
A typical water softening Plant consists of pre-filters, Water Softener Vessel with Resin, Brine Tank, and accessories.
The Water Softener units are available in a wide range of materials like FRP / LDPE / MS /MS Rubber Lined / Stainless Steel.
These Water Softeners come with Multiport Valves/ Diaphragm Valves and designed to give long trouble free service. These Water Softener units are easy to install and does not require any special foundation & needs minimum maintenance.
Automatic Twin Water Softening Plant
Fluid Systems Offers fully automatic twin Softeners with salt saving technology for producing soft water with low residual hardness. These softeners consume almost 25 % less salt thus saving on the Regeneration costs.
Water Softening Plants - Lime softening
The Lime Softening Process utilizes the addition of lime (calcium hydroxide) to remove hardness (calcium and magnesium) ions by precipitation. Softening is achieved by adding lime in the form of Ca(OH)2, which reacts first with CO2 to form calcium carbonate precipitate, and then reacts with multivalent cations to remove carbonate hardness, then reacts with anions to replace the non-carbonate hardness due to multivalent cations with non-carbonate hardness due to calcium. Lime softening process produces large volumes of sludge and as such is not used nowadays.
