The technological evolution of Ion Exchange Processes and related Regeneration Techniques allow, at the state of the art, to compare the different systems applied, in order to highlight the resulting Benefits a/o Limitations, as reported in the following table.
EGMA - Studio Ass.to, after more than thirty years of technical experience in Ion Exchange sector, has witnessed the evolution of the Application Processes of the use of ion exchange resins, both as regards the operating techniques and those of regeneration. From the first CO-CURRENT system applied, to the inversion of the COUNTER-CURRENT regenerative flows, up to the refinement of the FLOATING BED processes, then to the COMPACT BED.
Through the various processes applied, the Operating Costs of the ion exchange resin system have been improved overall, aiming at the considerable reduction in the of Regenerant Consumption, the Rinse Water Volume, as well as the reduction of Waste Eluates from the system.
Further benefits were achieved in improving operational efficiency, with an increase in the Operating Exchange Capacity of IER installed, combined with the achievement of a Qualitatively Better Treated Water.
In addition, the latest generation of ion exchange resins with Uniform Beads, or Monodisperse, has made it possible to reach significantly higher performance targets than the use of conventional IER with standard particle size, that is to say Heterodisperse classifiable.
In the table below, EGMA - Studio Ass.to has compared the different types of Service and Regeneration of the various Processes, commonly more known, allowing to deduce, case by case, Advantages, Benefits, and also some Management Limitations, which must be taken into account in the Design Phase and according to the type of water to be treated.

EGMA - Studio Ass.to gladly remains at the complete disposal of the Customer Park and the Field Operators, for further information on the subject, as well as to provide all necessary know-how to favour specialized assistance for the Study and Sizing New Plant, or for the development of a specific Revamping Case-study aimed at optimizing an Existing Plant.
