Softener Plant
Softener Plant is unit Process used in water and waste water treatment plant. Softener Plant is used to remove Hardness.
Process Description :-
A water softener is a fairly simple appliance that is stocked with salt. In water softening process the water supply passes through the water softener over resin beds, rows of resin beads perform an ion-exchange. The resin beads chemically attract the unwanted ‘hard’ mineral ions and exchange them with sodium ions. Softener resin is mainly strong acid Cation resin. When the resin beds become saturated with the minerals, the water softener flushes them out with a salt solution called brine and the process begins again. Water softeners are fairly easy to operate and maintain. All that needs to be done after installation is to periodically add sodium chloride and the water softener does the rest. Sodium salts are not hard scales forming so that water without the calcium and magnesium salts is called soft water.
Target Impurities :-
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Metal cations and anion
- Hardness
Advantages :-
- Water softening also reduces the irritation on hands and body.
- Assists in saving on expenses used to buy soap. Hard water makes very hard for efficient laundry. Therefore, a lot of soap must be utilized for lather formation.
- Helps in recovering the shininess of the water.
- There will be decreased water usage because soap forms lather quickly with the water.
- No scale deposits will be formed in home appliances such as pipes and plastic water heaters.
