Water Softening (WS)

Water Softening (WS)

Water Softening (WS) is an ion exchange process which involves passing hard water through a resin bed containing sodium ions. Calcium and magnesium ions in the water are exchanged for sodium ions on the resin beads, softening the water. Periodically, the resin bed is regenerated by flushing it with a brine solution to recharge the sodium ions. This process removes hardness minerals, reduces scale buildup, and improves water quality.

ABCO Water’s Water Softening (WS) plants are used for hardness reduction to prevent scale buildup on downstream piping and equipment. WS plants can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system as pre or post treatment to other technologies.

Product Benefits

  • Simple and reliable technology for reduction of water hardness
  • Reduced maintenance costs for downstream equipment
  • High system recovery, small regeneration waste stream
  • Scalability, skid/containerised plants can be easily scaled up or down
  • Footprint, relatively small space required
  • Low maintenance and ongoing operating costs

Typical Applications

  • Treating hard potable water for potable or process use
  • Treating bore water for potable or process use
  • Treating surface water for potable or process use
