Wastech CIX
skid-mounted 10-20 gpm ion-exchange
water purification system. |
Wastech is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a strategic
partnership with KINETICO Inc., which has
specialized in ion exchange technology for 30 years.
KINETICO has been a pioneer in industrial water
recycling and continues to offer innovative ion
exchange designs for water purification, waste water
treatment, and water recycling for regulatory
compliance at the lowest possible cost. KINETICO technology now allows
Wastech to offer skid-mounting, turnkey water
recycling packages to industrial customers for water
reuse without surprises or cost
overruns.
The KINETICO ion
exchange process removes dissolved ions from
solution using synthetic resins to attract cations
or anions, then releases (exchanges) counter-ions
until the resin is exhausted. As the solution flows
through a resin bed, ion exchange occurs. The
process continues by regenerating or replacing ions
on the resin. Regeneration of the resin uses on-site
packed bed, counter-current technology, which
minimizes chemical use and waste volume compared to
competitive systems. The patented KINETICO valve
offers counter-current regeneration which uses 50%
less chemicals and 50% less water than conventional
deionization systems.
The KINETICO ion
exchange process is suitable for many industrial
applications:
- Quality
improvement of incoming municipal water.
- Purification
and recycling of contaminated rinse water.
- Contamination
elimination prior to waste water discharge.
- Regulatory
compliance.
- Life
extension of process solutions.
With ion exchange,
high purity water is produced for continuous reuse.
Metals are recovered, and solid wastes are reduced. Recycling industrial
process water using ion exchange is not only
environmentally beneficial, but is typically more cost
effective than conventional treatment and discharge
methods.
It can be combined with waste stream segregation and
other waste water treatment technologies available
from Wastech, such as activated carbon, filtration
bags or cartridges, and other media.
Wastech also offers a
complete line of proprietary chemical precipitation
chemistries and complete automated hardware packages for
their use. Our laboratory will analyze your sample and
demonstrate our solution. In addition, pilot equipment
is available for rent to validate a solution before you
invest.
Wastech is prepared
to add options as needed, including booster pumps,
neutralization systems, DI water storage,
re-pressurization, and ultraviolet disinfection.
