Water Softener Plant

Listing ID #819613

We are providing Water Softener Plant that purifies the groundwater which contains a lot of dissolved rocks and minerals that releases calcium and magnesium ions which ultimately makes water hard. Hard water does not work up lather, thus it is not suitable for cleaning and bathing purposes. Water becomes hard when it has excessive levels of calcium and magnesium dissolved in it. Our Water Softener Plant is widely applied in boiler, cooling tower, air conditioning plant, textile processing, hospitals, hotels, laundries, etc.

The Process of Water Softener Plant :
The heart of a water softener is a mineral tank. It is filled with small polystyrene beads, also known as resin or zeolite. The beads carry a negative charge. Calcium and magnesium in water both carry positive charges. This means that these minerals will cling to the beads as the hard water passes through the mineral tank. Sodium ions also have positive charges, albeit not as strong as the charge on the calcium and magnesium.

When a very strong brine solution is flushed through a tank that has beads already saturated with calcium and magnesium, the sheer volume of the sodium ions is enough to drive the calcium and magnesium ions off the beads. Water softeners have a separate brine tank that uses common salt to create this brine solution. In normal operation, hard water moves into the mineral tank and the calcium and magnesium ions move to the beads, replacing sodium ions. The sodium ions go into the water.

Once the beads are saturated with calcium and magnesium, the unit enters a 3-phase regenerating cycle. First, the backwash phase reverses water flow to flush dirt out of the tank. In the recharge phase, the concentrated sodium-rich salt solution is carried from the brine tank through the mineral tank. The sodium collects on the beads, replacing the calcium and magnesium, which go down the drain. Once this phase is over, the mineral tank is flushed of excess brine and the brine tank is refilled.

The water softeners use the well-proven “ion-exchange” process to convert the hard water ions of calcium and magnesium to sodium ions. Our Water Softener Plant is used to soften the water by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard. Minerals like calcium and magnesium present in the water in their carbonates and bi-carbonates from makes water hard, which creates several problems when it is used in industrial as well as in other domestic purposes.

Water softening plant uses ion-exchange process which relies on the replacement of the calcium and magnesium ions present in the water by an equivalent number of sodium ions. This eliminates the unwanted characteristics of hard water because the sodium salts never forms scale in any of the machinery parts. The resins get charged by sodium chloride solution (common salt), which is the cost effective and easiest maintenance process. We have designed highly efficient water softener to convert every type of hard water into soft water removing calcium, magnesium, sodium and ion from water.
