Testwork Results

Graph 1: Magnesium profile of a cation effluent stream during pilot studies, from start of regeneration to end of rinse cycle. Sample points every 0.24 BV intervals.

Graph 2: Phosphate profile of an anion effluent stream during pilot studies, from start of regeneration to end of rinse cycle. Sample points every 0.27 BV intervals.

The sharpness of the elution peaks shown on the above curves is indicative that there is even plug flow through the column and the entire resin bed is being utilised to its full efficiency. This principle forms the simple but crucial basis of successful ion-exchange scale up applied by Separation Technologies Limited within the following industries:

• Food
• Drinks
• Chemical and petrochemical
• Pharmaceutical
