Water softener

Application

Water softener the ITG Sarajevo is applied for softening of water, which is physically clear, and without mechanical impurities. It is used for softening of boiler feed water in power plants, chemical and textile industry, for cooling water, water heaters and there where softened water is required.

Water softening is done by filtering, through a water-insoluble layer of ion exchange resin, which has the ability to reversibly exchange its ions with inorganic salt ions in water. Calcium and magnesium salts are removed from water, because calcium and magnesium hydro carbonate are transformed into sodium carbonate which is not deposited as a scale.

Water softeners are manufactured in standard dimensions, capacity goes from 0,5 m³/h up to 6 m³/h in 11 sizes and three designs as follows:

• filter and salt vessel as one unit
• S-design with a filter and salt vessel, separately
• D-design with a two filters and salt vessel, separately

Delivery of water softener also include ion-exchange resin, internal piping, pipe fittings, water meter and mini laboratory for water quality control.

Filters are dimensioned in such a way to achieve optimum between the quantity of treated water and the time between two regeneration. Vessels are made out of steel plate and are protected with an anticorrosive coating.

Testing

Our water softeners are designed for maximum pressure up to 6 bar, and are tested on 9 bar.

Order data

To order the following data are necessary:

• design of water softener or
• water-flow, water-hardness, operating pressure in installation.

Technical documentation

Along with each delivered ITG water softener the following documentation is also enclosed :

• process flow sheet
• guarantee
• EC – Declaration of conformity
• manual for operation and maintenance

The guarantee is valid 12 month after putting into operation or maximum15 months after delivery date.

Water softening device, by its conception and design, contents all requirements of EU norms and Machinery directives 98/37/EEC, as well as ZH 1/400 standards and Statutes for pressure vessels from 1997.year in accordance with the DIN 1988-2 and 1988-12.
