How is resin regenerated in a condensate polishing system?

Resin regeneration in a condensate polishing system is a process that restores the ion exchange resins’ capacity to remove dissolved ions from the condensate. The cation and anion exchange resins become saturated with impurities over time, and to regenerate them, the system uses specific chemicals—usually acids for cation resins and bases for anion resins. During the regeneration process, the resins are washed with these chemicals to displace the captured ions and restore their exchange capacity. Regular resin regeneration is critical to maintaining the system’s efficiency and ensuring high-purity condensate.
