Fully automatic water softening equipment

1. Equipment introduction

Large and medium-sized boilers in the power and thermal industries operate at high operating parameters. Downtime due to factors such as tube bursts in existing boilers can cause significant economic losses and social impacts. Therefore, the quality of boiler feed water is particularly demanding (power plant boilers require resistivity > 5MΩ.cm and SiO2 < 20μg/L). Most power plants and thermal power centers have water treatment plants to treat boiler feed water.

2. Working principle

Water softening equipment utilizes ion exchange technology, using special resins to adsorb calcium and magnesium ions in water, thereby softening the water.

Water softening equipment primarily utilizes anionic and cation softening. When the incoming water is from a deep well or has a very high hardness, water softening equipment is used to remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water, reducing the amount of calcium and magnesium ions in the water. If the water softener or softener fails, the concentration of calcium and magnesium salts on the reverse osmosis membrane increases dramatically, forming insoluble precipitates. This can clog the membrane pores, shorten the membrane's lifespan, and increase equipment maintenance costs.
