GS Description INDION GS is a controed partice size strong base Type 1 anion exchange resin, containing quaternary ammonium groups. It is based on crossinked poystyrene and has a ge structure with high mechanica strength. Appications INDION GS is effective in removing weak acids ike carbonic and siicic acid aong with strong acids. It is recommended for use in two stage/mutipe stage or mixed bed deionising units for producing high quaity demineraised water with owest possibe residua siica. Being a high strength ge resin, it is recommended for use in condensate poishing. It is aso recommended for speciaity non-water appications such as caproactum purification.

Operating exchange capacity Two stage de-ionising The operating exchange capacity of INDION GS in two stage de-ionising system is dependent upon : The regeneration eve empoyed and the composition of water to be treated, specificay the concentration of minera acid anions (SO /EMA, %) 4 The operating exchange capacities are shown as a function of regeneration eve for various percentages of SO /EMA in Figure 1 for co-fow 4 regeneration and in Figure for counter current regeneration. The operating exchange capacities are given in figures 6 & 7 when SiO /TA, is 6 % & 7 % respectivey, for counter current regeneration. Siica content (SiO /TA, %) in water to be treated. Refer Figure and 4 for capacity deduction data to be appied to basic operating exchange capacities obtained form Figure 1 and respectivey. Exhaustion rate The operating capacity data is reated to exhaustion time greater than 1 hours. Figure 5 shows the correction factor to be appied on operating capacity (after capacity deduction for siica content) with exhaustion time for both co-fow and counter current regeneration. Mutipe stage de-ionising Mutipe de-ionising system generay consists of strong acid cation exchanger INDION 5 H in the first stage. This is foowed by a weak base anion exchanger INDION 85, preceded or foowed by a degasser and a strong base anion exchanger INDION GS in series. In such a system INDION GS treats infuent water containing predominanty weak acids ike siica and carbon dioxide. In mutipe stage de-ionising, the regeneration process for weak base anion exchanger and strong base anion exchanger can be conducted in series in the direction of strong base to weak base anion exchanger to improve overa regeneration efficiency. The usefu capacity wi be high and siica eakage wi be ow as the strong base resin receives a the sodium hydroxide required for both exchangers. The regenerant injection is foowed by a sow rinse with water to transfer the residua caustic present in the strong base anion exchanger to the weak base anion exchanger. The method is commony referred to as thoroughfare regeneration. Refer Figure 8 ( cofow ) and 9, 1 (.1 &. ppm siica end point - CCR ) for operating capacities of INDION GS when used in co-fow and countercurrent thoroughfare modes respectivey. Mixed bed de-ionising When used as the anion exchanger in mixed bed de-ionising systems the capacity of INDION GS is independent of the feed water composition and therefore corresponds to the zero curves in Figure 1. No correction for siica content of the Feed water need be made, athough the amount oaded on the resin and hence the voume of water treated between regenerations may need to be adjusted in order to obtain satisfactory siica residua in the treated water (Figure 15).

Treated water quaity Two stage/mutipe stage de-ionising The quaity of treated water from a two stage/ mutipe stage de-ionising pant using INDION GS as the anion exchanger is determined by: Regeneration eve empoyed. Temperature of the regenerant. Leve of sodium ion eakage from the cation exchanger. Siica to tota anion ratio of water fed to the anion exchanger. Sodium ions eaking from the cation exchanger are converted to NaOH as the water passes through the anion exchanger.

Mixed bed de-ionsing A correcty designed and operated mixed bed unit using INDION GS with INDION 5 strong acid cation exchanger resin wi produce treated water with a conductivity of.5 micro siemens /cm or ess. When the mixed bed unit is preceded by two-stage deionising, conductivity of.1 micro siemens /cm is easiy achieved. The siica content of the treated water from a mixed bed unit depends upon the eve and temperature of the regenerant used for INDION GS and the siica oading during the treatment cyce. This oading can be cacuated from the siica content of the feed water and the voume of treated water per cyce. To maintain any desired residua siica eve in the treated water, reference shoud be made to Figure 15. This graph gives the maximum siica oading that INDION GS wi toerate at various regeneration eves indicated to maintain the required residua siica.

Buetin R16 Use of good quaity regenerants A ion exchange resins are subject to fouing and bockage of active groups by precipitated iron. Hence the iron content in the feed water shoud be ow and the regenerant sodium hydroxide must be essentiay free from iron and heavy metas. A resins, especiay the anion exchangers are prone to oxidative attack resuting in probems such as oss of capacity, resin cumping, etc. Therefore sodium hydroxide shoud have as ow a chorate content as possibe. Good quaity regenerant of technica or chemicay pure grade shoud be used to obtain best resuts.
