The GUNT Water Treatment Plant 2 demonstrates two key water treatment operations: depth filtration using sand filters and ion exchange for water softening and desalination. It allows flexible use of the sand filter and ion exchangers either in combination or separately.
Product Features
- Raw water is pumped into a sand filter where solids are captured and retained in the filter bed
- Filtered water flows through two ion exchangers—cation and anion exchangers—to remove unwanted ions
- Ion exchange process exchanges ions for hydrogen and hydroxide, softening and desalinating the water
- Sand filter and ion exchangers can be operated independently or combined
- Pressure loss increases as solids accumulate in the sand filter; backwashing cleans the filter bed and restores flow
- Ion exchangers can be regenerated using acid or caustic solutions
- Sand filter equipped with differential pressure measurement and multiple pressure measuring points along the filter bed
- Pressures displayed via tube manometers as water columns, enabling Micheau diagram plotting
- Measurement of flow rate, temperature, conductivity, differential pressure, and system pressure at relevant points
- Adjustable flow velocity through the filter bed
- Sample collection possible at all key points for water quality analysis
- Diatomite recommended as raw water contaminant for experiments
- Software control program displays operating states and measured data with process schematic
Benefits
- Detailed investigation of water purification by filtration and ion exchange
- Flexible operation with independent or combined filter and ion exchange processes
- Comprehensive data visualization and control with integrated software
