Comprehensive DI Tank Guide: Color Codes, Resin Types, and Specifications
Deionization (DI) tanks play a crucial role in water treatment, particularly for industries requiring high-purity water. These tanks are designed to remove dissolved salts and minerals from water through the ion exchange process, which is essential for applications where water quality directly impacts product integrity and operational efficiency. This reference sheet for ion exchange tanks provides a comprehensive guide to Puretec’s ion exchange tanks used in deionization (DI) systems, detailing the color codes, resin types, and corresponding tank specifications. It also offers an in-depth look at the different types of DI tanks available, including Cation (C) tanks, Anion (A) tanks, Mixed Bed (MB) tanks, and Specialty (S) tanks. Each tank type serves a unique purpose, from initial ion exchange to polishing water for ultra-pure applications. For example, Cation tanks, identified by red tape, remove positively charged ions like calcium and magnesium, while Anion tanks with yellow tape eliminate negatively charged ions such as chlorides and silica. Mixed Bed tanks, marked with brown tape, combine both cation and anion resins to produce the highest purity water.
The chart also details the various color codes and sizing options, making it easier to select the right tank for specific needs. It serves as a quick reference for identifying tank contents and understanding their operational parameters, such as flow rates, connection types, and optimal pressure and temperature settings. Understanding these tanks and their functions is vital for maintaining efficient water treatment systems, ensuring that the water meets the strict standards required for different industrial processes. It is an essential tool for professionals working with water purification systems, ensuring they select the right tanks for their specific needs.
