ION EXCHANGE SOFTENING

ION

EXCHANGE SOFTENING

ardness can lead to scaling in pipes, cooling towers, and valuable equipment, thus effecting the efficiency of your process and driving up cost. Utilizing the exchange of positively and negatively charged ions to soften and demineralize water is a widely used method of purification, separation, and decontamination. LANTERN offers a range of innovative resin technologies that can efficiently exchange calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) for sodium, thus effectively removing hardness with little to no precipitate while maintaining a stable pH. A softening method that requires little operator attention and can easily be regenerated with a brine solution, our ion exchange softening technologies are safe, compact, and low cos

Advantages:

- Consistent soft water
- Low chemical consumption
- Proven effectiveness with many years of operating experience

- Low cost and small footprint

Disadvantages:

- Not ideal for very high-hardness water
- Can be difficult to operate in high TDS water applications

PROJECT BRIEFS

Rare Earth Mine Recycles Brine Stream for Acid and Caustic Production with LANTERN Multi-Stage Brine Conditioning System

When a rare earth mine in North America sought to improve efficiency by recovering brine for acid and caustic production, it turned to LANTERN for a brine conditioning circuit to handle its complex blend of contaminants.

Oil Refinery Replaces Old Softening Equipment and Reduces Boiler Makeup Water Hardness with UPCORE™ Softening System

When an oil refinery in West Virginia needed to replace its softening equipment with a more efficient system, LANTERN helped the client install and run an effective UPCORE™ ion exchange system for minimal hardness and maximum results.

Specialty Metals Producer Optimizes Cadmium Recovery, Leveraging LANTERN Ion Exchange Technology for Wastewater Treatment

When a specialty metals producer in the Midwest needed an efficient solution for capturing cadmium from its wastewater streams, it looked to LANTERN for an ion exchange (IX) solution to maximize its resources.
