ION EXCHANGE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

Apparatus and operating method improvements are provided for an ion exchange apparatus system utilizing moving folded beds for loading and regeneration of the resin. The improvements include separate treatment and pulse chambers in the resin circuit from the loading column to the regeneration column, and in the return circuit from the regeneration column to the loading column. With the improved apparatus and method, the resin is transferred in compacted metered increments from and into the loading and regeneration columns.
