Ion Exchange Automation
System Advantages:
The primary advantage of the automation system relates to an overall reduction in operator requirements and improved system reliability and efficiency:
Regeneration scheduling and the timing of individual steps can be based on operator specification or water quality Sequencer steps can be repeated or skipped without repeating the previous regeneration steps Manual mode control for maintenance and safety Sequencer times can be easily changed or password protected Regeneration of different sized units can be performed by 1 set of regeneration pumps Ion exchange unit capacity is totalized, displayed and compared to previous readings Real time trending and historical data collection for water treatment cost analysis and monthly summary reports
