KOMPaion KIA-Line
Application
The ion exchange plants of the KOMPaion-KIA-Line are used for the loop recycling of rinse water.
This is one of the application of the versatile separation process of ion exchange.
Other kinds of application:
- Deionization of tap water
- Metal recovery
- Polishing filtration
Filtration is a basic requirement for all ion exchange applications. Oil and grease must also kept out of the system; when present, they are typically removed by prior micro- or ultrafiltration.
Any particulate matter or products of hydrolysis are retained by prefiltration in multi-media or cardridge filters
Process Characteristics
The proper selection of ion exchange resins is of
importance. Most ion exchange resins in use today
are synthetic organic materials made up of macroporous
matrix which are able to adsorb ionized
substances in solution and release them again in
concentrated form during regeneration phase.
The ion exchange resins are filled into fibreglass
laminated columns. The feed stream is pumped
through the resin bed in up-flow mode.

Description of plant
The plants of the KOMPaion-KIA-Line includes the following assembly groups.
- Raw water collecting tank
- Feed pumps (dual pumping station)
- Pre filtration (single or dual filter)
- Ion exchange columns
The configuration of the KOMPaion-KIA-Line combines and incorporates the advantages of both the series and
the dual train configuration.
Hereby two cation exchangers are arranged in series with one anion exchanger allocated to each train.
The operation of the plant is divided in following main steps:
- Running: Removal of ions from raw water.
- Regeneration: Activation of the active exchange groups with acid or caustic.
Advantages
- Very good quality of water because of Sodium reduction
- Protection of anion exchange resins against hydroxide
settlements
- Automatically start of the regeneration step
- Low invest cost because of standardised piping system
- Industrial SPS control system
- Patented regeneration system
