The mechanism of industrial water softeners
Industrial water softeners are critical components of innumerous commercial and industrial water filtration / water purification applications in Southern Ontario. Although industrial water softeners operate utilizing quite a simple mechanism, for an inexperienced individual, it may seem daunting at first. Basically, water softener systems efficiently reduce scale, calcium, magnesium and iron cations from incoming water (also known as feed water). The process of water softening itself is carried out in a cylindrical tanks (known as mineral tanks of the water softener) filled with a high efficiency ion exchange media called cation resin. This media is charged with sodium ions, and serves as the location for incoming waters to become softened. A physical and chemical ion exchange reaction takes place, whereby calcium, magnesium and iron ions are exchanged in the mineral tanks of water softeners for sodium ions, thereby ultimately softening the water for process use.
