Capacity: 3.00 nos. trains each rated at 500.00 gpm
Location: Virginia – USA
Type: Demineralized Water Treatment w/ Carbon Filtration and Neutralization
Application: Boiler Demineralized Make Up Water System
Units Involved: EMCO supplied a counter-current regenerated demineralizer system consisting of three trains each having a cation and an anion unit. One common decarbonator is also included.
Each train produces 487,200 gallons between regeneration @ 507.5 gpm. Effluent water quality from this plant is silica <0.10 ppm and the conductivity is <10 μohms.
EMCO also supplied the sodium sulfite feed system, the acid/caustic pumps/mixing station, and a plc-based control system.
