Water softener, Pressure : 0.2~0.6 mpa

Due to high levels of calcium and magnesium, many types of equipment fail to work properly, which can lead to an increase in energy costs and/or complete failure of the equipment.  Many plants use water softeners for boiler feed, cooling towers, entire water supply and various types of process water.

Boiler feed typically consists of alternating water softeners to allow a continuous feed of soft water.  Because of the efficiency of boilers, capacity and not flow rate is the main issue in designing the water softener system.  The higher the operating pressure of the boiler, the more stringent the water quality requirements will be.

Cooling towers are another common application for industrial water softeners.  Cooling towers can operate much more efficiently with softened water. This can help to realize a drastic reduction in maintenance, chemical feed quantity, and the volume of water required for operation.

Using water softeners for their entire plant feed water is necessary.  Due to high hardness levels the majority of the time, this is the only option as it is usually the most cost effective and protects the entire plant from complications and damage that scale can cause.
