Course Description
Ion exchange is a critical unit process in purifying water for steam generation, semiconductor manufacture, and pharmaceutical applications. The course reviews resin structure, function, and the gamut of water purification applications from softening to the preparation of ultra-quality water. The course has been modified to focus on monitoring performance and reacting to system upsets (troubleshooting).
Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of the chemistry of boiler water treatment for scale, corrosion, and carryover control, treatment options for the gamut of industrial boiler system pressures, the options and precautions associated with boiler chemical cleaning, and metallurgical analysis of failed boiler specimens. Further, participants will have a strong understanding of the chemistry of ion exchange resins and the operation of systems using ion exchange resins for water purification, including system and vessel design parameters. The course also provides practical options to use when troubleshooting resin-based systems.
Course Objectives
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on boiler water treatment technology
- Discuss the properties, resources, chemistry of water and the elements of contaminated water
- Explain the three phases of water treatment and the pretreatment for control of scale
- Discuss the pretreatment requirements for ion exchange as well as synthesis, types, water hydrationand commercial equivalents of ion exchange resins
- Describe the equipment, service and regeneration reactions and troubleshooting of ion exchange softening
- Explain the purpose of ion exchange dealkalizers, decarbonators and degasifies
- Explain the process of two bed demineralization and mix beds as well as troubleshooting methods
- Carryout resin testing, pre-treatment for corrosion control, oxygen control and deaeration
- Perform corrosion control, deposition control and boiler system testing
- Discuss chemical cleaning of boilers, condensate corrosion, heat recovery system generators, failure analysis and boiler tube testing
