Features

Benefits

All surfaces primed with a two-component primer, and epoxy polyamide paint finish coat. Finish paint color is A181 blue.

No on-site painting required.

Option: Pa Paint int systems systems suitable for outdoor service and resistant to corrosion from coastal environments.

Increases durability.

The valve manifold/pipe rack is mounted on a single fixed skid structural base.

Reduces field installation labor.

Option: Separ Separate ate skid for piping manifold. manifold.

Enables easier site movement in tight locations.

Piping is Schedule 80 PVC and meets the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Code B31.1.

Cost-effective construction c onstruction..

Option: Piping in polypro polypropyle pylenene-line lined d carbon steel.

For hydrocloric acid service.

Option: 316 316L L stainle stainless ss steel steel piping with coupling for instrument taps.

Easier to modify piping in the field and more robust. Absence of plastic spacers and instrument taps increases durability and reliability.

Butterfly valves for reliable, automatic on/off control. One-piece body and a one-piece shaft, with mechanical position indicators.

Compact, simple and durable construction reduces failure potential. Visual indication of  valve valv e position. posit ion.

Regenerant valves are diaphragm type with Regenerant w ith spring-to-close actuators.

Higher safety for chemical lines.

Option: Opt ion: Regenera Regenerant nt isolation valve valves s and and regenerant block and bleed valves.

Provides additional protection against injection of chemical into a unit that is not in regeneration.

Option: Opt ion: Valve proxim proximity ity or microswit microswitch ch type switches.

Provides positive feedback on valve positions to the control center.

Option: Stainle Stainless ss steel wedgewire resin resin trap. Removeable design lets operator clean strainer without piping disassembly.

Prevents resin loss in the unlikely event of an underdrain failure. Wedgewire construction provides longer life and structural integrity of  retention medium. Simplified operator maintenance.

Solenoid / Jun unct ction ion Box

Instruments

NEMA 4X enclosure with manifold-mounted solenoids and common terminal strip.

Water-tight and corrosion resistant. Prevents water damage and damage from most chemicals.

Single air connection for air filter and pressure regulator.

Doesn’t require controlled air pressure. Simplifies installation.

Manifold mounted solenoids, individually replaceable, with wit h manual manual overrides.

Simplifies maintenance. Permits local loc al manual manual valve operation.

Wiring in separate AC and DC junction boxes.

Avoids possibility of electrical interference.

Unique pressure gauge and water sampling assembly on inlet and outlet of each vessel.

Gauges can be replaced without system shut-down. Easy access to water samples.

Standard instrumentation: 1. Inlet flow indicating transmitter. 2. Outlet conductivity monitor (Anion units only). 3. Inlet and Outlet pressure gauges on each unit.

Monitors system to ensure appropriate product flow, unit capacity and water quality.

Differential pressure switch across each strainer plate.

Alarm warns of excessive pressure across resin bed.

Option: Opt ion: Sodium analyze analyzers, rs, silica analyzers, analyzers, and pH meters.

Improves control and monitoring of performance.
