Water Softener Plant : How it Works

Water softener plants are primarily used to convert hard water into soft drinkable water. As our ground water level decreases day by day, water softener plants are becoming popular in India. We at Ecologics India Pvt Ltd offer you a total range of water softening system to meet your daily need of softened water.

Purpose of Water Softening

  • Water softening process removes the ions which create hard water. Mostly Magnesium and Calcium ions, which are responsible for hard water, are removed in this process
  • The logical way of using water softener is to directly attach it to water supply pipes
  • Iron ions can also be removed using water softeners. Softening devices can remove upto 5mg/l dissolved iron ion

Technology Used

  • Hardness is mainly caused by Calcium (Ca2+), Bicarbonate (HCO3-) and Magnesium (Mg2+) salts
  • Water softeners are regenerated with common salt (NaCl)
  • Brackish water softener uses specific resins that regenerates with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and NaOH
  • Some softeners apply specific ions to remove hard water ions with multiple positive charges

Various Methods of Water Softening

Common methods of water softening can be classified into three categories. This includes Ion-exchange Resin, Lime Softening and Chelating Agents.

Ion-exchange Resins

Traditional water softeners, which are primarily produced for household applications, use an ion-exchange process. In this tech Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) ions are being exchanged with sodium ions.

Lime Softening

This is a fairly simple process of reducing water hardness. Here lime chunks are added in the hard water to reduce its hardness. This process has a few advantages over conventional ion-exchange methods.

Chelating Agents

Chelatos are a common thing specially used in commercial products like food preservatives and shampoos. Chelatos can also lessen water hardness. Ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid is a frequently used chelatos in water treatment plants.

Our Process of Water Softening

Our methods of water softening involves removal of Mg2+ and Ca2+ by binding them to molecules. It removes all the hardness these ions caused and their ability to form scales. This removal process is achieved with the help of precipitation process and ion exchange.

Mineral tanks are the chief constituent for our water softening plants. Our final package for water softener consists of a brine tank as well as a mineral tank. Water supply pipes and mineral tanks are interconnected with each other. The water passing through both the tanks are being softened by the mineral tank.
