Specialty Resin
SWT logo ProBlend™ High Capacity Mixed-Bed

We took our ProSoft™ Premium softening resin and our ProSelect™ General Purpose anion exchange resin and mixed them together to make one of the highest capacity bulk demineralizers available. ProBlend™ High Capacity Mixed-Bed Resin is specially suited for optimum performance and low cost regeneration. It is simply the best value for the dollar.

1168 - ProBlend High Capacity Mixed-Bed Pressure Graph
 
PRESSURE DROP — The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures.
 
1168 - ProBlend High Capacity Mixed-Bed Backwash Graph
 
BACKWASH — The backwash step is used to separate the components prior to regeneration and to remove particles. The separation is optimized at a bed expansion of 50 to 75 percent.
