How do you select the right resin for a condensate polishing system?

Selecting the right resin for a condensate polishing system depends on several factors, including the type of impurities present in the condensate, the required purity levels, and the system’s operating conditions. Cation exchange resins are used to remove positively charged ions such as calcium and magnesium, while anion exchange resins target negatively charged ions like chloride and sulfate. For high-purity applications, mixed-bed resins that combine both cation and anion exchange may be the best choice. It’s important to choose resins with high capacity and regeneration efficiency to ensure long-term system performance.
