Industrial Water Softener

Water softeners used in industries are specific ion exchangers that are specifically designed for removing positively charged ions. Mainly these softeners remove magnesium (Mg2+) and Calcium (Ca2+) ions. Magnesium and Calcium are referred to as the hardness minerals. Sometimes, these softeners are even applied for removing iron. These softening devices can remove up to 5 milligrams per liter of dissolved iron. They can operate automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. Every type is rated on the amount of hardness it can remove before the necessary regeneration. Commercial softeners collect hardness minerals from the water within its conditioning tank and flush them away from time to time to drain.
