Water Softener Plant

Best Water Softener Plants in Nandabakkam Chennai - 2024

Hard water poses challenges for both industrial and domestic use due to its elevated levels of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions compared to regular water. Temporary hardness, known as carbonate hardness, arises from the presence of carbonates and bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium, while permanent hardness results from other dissolved minerals.

The hardness of water increases with higher concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, which originate from limestone sediments and carbon dioxide present in atmospheric and groundwater sources. Softening hard water is commonly achieved through ion exchange processes, which involve the removal of calcium and magnesium ions and their replacement with sodium ions.

Hassles of Hardness

Hard water reacts adversely with detergents. It means even on your little (baby) ones’ Soft towels turn rough on their soft skin.
Soaps and shampoos do not lather and leave you feeling unwashed. Your skin gets dry. Hard water makes hair dry and rough leads to hair loss.
Hard water causes residual deposit and scale builds up. Damaging your appliances such as heaters, washing machines, showers, dishwashers etc. Appliances life comes down by 45% ; their maintenance cost goes up by 25%. Causes deterioration and fading of fabrics. Also reduces fabric life by 15%.
Hard water leaves scales which clog pipes, faucets, valves and fixtures. Hard water reduces the cleaning power of detergents. Soft water reduces detergents requirements by about 70%.
Makes the food and water taste different. Cooking takes longer than ever before. Cooking gas consumption increases by 30%. Causes scale deposit on utensils.

Water Softening Process

Softening is the ion exchange process, it is done through resin, the most common and probably the easiest method of removing hardness (that is calcium and magnesium) from water and suitable for utility purpose. As the name implies ion exchange is a process in which undesirable ions are exchanged for more desirable ions. The softening process consists of passing raw water containing hardness through a bed of cation resin in sodium form. The hardness ions Ca & Mg are taken up by resin and in exchange, the sodium ions are relinquished from the resin. This is called the service cycle, where the hard water is being softened.

Chemical Reaction During Softening Process

Ca (HCO3)2 + Na2 R = RCa + NaHCO3
CaSO4 + Na2 R = RCa + Na2SO4MgCl2 + Na2
R = RMg + NaCl

Regeneration Process

Raw water will continue to get softened till the resin gets exhausted. Bringing back the resin to it original form is called regeneration. Softener resin is regenerated by sodium chloride- Nacl (Common salt) solution. The common salt solution is kept in the regeneration tank. During the regeneration process, salt solution is injected by the ejector tube into softener. The Nacl (salt solution) replaces ca, Mg (Hardness) from the resin, the regeneration is done every day or every few days or every week depending upon the usage and design of the water softener plant.

Chemical Reaction During Regeneration Process

RCa + NaCl = RNa + CaCl2
RMg + NaCl = RNa + MgCl2
