ION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS

Ion exchange exchange system have a wide variety of uses including softening, deionization, water recycling and heavy metal removal and recovery from wastewater. Remco Engineering systems are fully automated with remote access available for monitoring and control (see system controls). Each system is custom designed for the application and monitored for several months after the installation to ensure correct operation.

1. SKID MOUNTED ION EXCHANGE (DEIONIZATION) SYSTEMS AND METAL RECOVERY ION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS Skid mounted Metal Recovery Ion Exchange and Deionization systems are fully integrated, compact, units for consolidated effluent streams of 6-700+ gallons per minute. Highly integrated systems run continuously even during regeneration. There are no columns to move or manual valves to turn. Regeneration is fully automatic. "No Fault" regeneration system monitors the amount of regenerant added to ensure complete regeneration. Our top-of- the-line systems feature fast installation, breakthrough detection, and multiple metal separations. Fully automatic systems are available that detect breakthrough, start the regeneration automatically, and alarm if any error is encountered.

2. MINI-MRIX SYSTEMS Skid mounted are complete units without integrated regeneration. These systems are suitable for treating small groundwater and runoff waste water where the metal loadings are low and it is cost effective to load up the resin or media and then dispose of it rather than regenerating it. Options include any resin or adsorption media. All systems are custom configured so there is no one size fits all applications.

3. BASIC ION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS (For polishing wastewater, metal removal, compliance) Basic Ion eXchange systems(BIX) feature integrated effluent conditioning (pH and ORP), optional breakthrough detection, and our optional "sumpless pump" eductor. The skid mounted systems have an integral 150-200 gallon fiberglass tank with recirculation pump, pH/ORP controls, level interlocks and high level alarming. Generally mounted on a 3'6" x 4' skid, the compact system provides full preconditioning and buffering for 2-10 gpm flow rates. Media, carbon and resin columns are modular and connect to a central manifold. Adding columns increase the flow capacity for low cost upgrading of the system. Regeneration is accomplished by either a P-SIX(TM) regeneration module or a simplex regeneration module mounted on the BIX skid. Columns and media filters are backwashed and regenerated automatically once connected to the regeneration modules.

4. SIMPLEX ION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS. (Have your own bottle service. Central regeneration system with multiple resins columns) Individual components are sold separately with an automatic regeneration module to minimize water and regenerant use. Prepackaged resin and columns, sand filters, carbon filters, and pumps provide a low cost method of metal recovery and/or DI water recirculation. Low flow and/or point source applications with minimal suspended solids are the best application for this type of system. The simplex regeneration module is the lowest cost and most effective method of regenerating small ion exchange bottles available. Featuring a programmable controller and all air operated valves, we give you the regeneration program used on our $100-200,000.00 units at a very reasonable cost. Using eductors (venturi) or optional pumps to add regenerate to the columns, the system is compact and efficient in its use of rinse water and regenerant. 5. POINT SOURCE ION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS (Compact units for gold recovery, polishing wastewater or recycling small tanks) The original, integrated, Point Source Ion eXchange system (P-SIX(TM)). A low flow (2-4 gpm) integrated system with collection sump, pump, pH adjust, resin and columns. The PSIX(TM) regeneration module is a full featured system with integrated regenerant recirculation and rinsewater collection tanks. Together, the collection module and the regeneration module provide a low cost integrated solution for low flow, point source recovery streams.

The P-SIX(TM) regeneration module is the big brother to the simplix regeneration module, expanding on the concept and further integrating its functions. The system features holding tanks for the regenerant and rinse water, magnetic drive pumps for regenerant recirculation and rinse dumping, and optional integrated plate-out units for metal recovery.
