Mixed Bed (MB)
Mixed bed ion exchange is an ion exchange procedure used to polish demineralised water, remove trace dissolved solids.
A mixed bed ion exchanger (also known as a mixed bed polisher or a mixed bed filter) is a vessel that contains both cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin. Water runs through this resin mixture during service. Cations dissolved in water are then exchanged for hydrogen ions (H+), whereas anions are exchanged for hydroxide ions (OH-). Water reacts with hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
The pretreated water after passing membrane entered into Mixed bed Vessel. In the Mix bed both resin available for treatment in one vessel. The cation and anion exchange processes within the unit occurs simultaneously when a stream flows through to it, resolving the problem of salt leakage that can decrease the water quality generated by a two bed plant.
Demineralised water is utilized for different industrial operations because of its high level of quality. Water with a lower purity level might contaminate these processes. When water with a low salt content or insufficient conductivity is required, demineralised water is also utilized.
- Used for Laboratories Testing.
- Used in Analytical Chemistry .
- Used for Cleaning lab equipments.
- Additionally to being utilized for certain food processing, food industry containers and equipment have to be sanitized.
