Water softening equipment greatly improves the effectiveness of downstream processes and minimizes damage to mission critical equipment caused by fouling, scaling, and thermal efficiency loss.

Scale forming minerals, such as calcium and magnesium (hardness), often build up on boilers, heat exchangers, piping, water heaters and other steam related equipment.  By passing hard water over ion exchange resin in a pressure vessel, hardness minerals are exchanged for more benign ions resulting in softened water which does not build up on surfaces as scale deposits. Softened water requires less cleaning detergents for process and reduces or eliminates scale build-up in piping and equipment.
