Mixed bed polishing is an ion exchange-based water treatment technology that comprises of a bed of cation and anion resins, intimately mixed and housed within a cylindrical vessel. The mix of resins provides a perfect environment for the removal of dissolved ionic contaminants.
Mixed beds can be supplied as internally regenerated where the resin is separated around a central collection system within the vessel. The separated resins are then individually regenerated with the appropriate chemical, rinsed, mixed using air and then returned to service. We also offer externally regenerated systems, such as our Conesep and Movex products, where the resin is transferred from the vessel to an external regeneration system for the condensate polishing process.
Where mixed beds are acting as a final polisher step in a high-purity demineralization system, a non-regenerable mixed bed polisher can be a more cost-effective solution. Ovivo offers a service option to remove the resins and regenerate off-site for return and reuse where appropriate, eliminating the need for on-site storage and handling of chemicals for regeneration.
