CIX – Complete Ion Exchange

CIX20S_side
Complete Ion Exchange – CIX 20S

Integrated skid-mounted ion exchange system for closed-loop recycling of rinses with TDS <450 mg/l to produce up to 25-gpm of deionized water. Costing approximately $6/1000-gal, which is 75% less than wastewater treatment and 95% less than service deionization (SDI), the CIX increases profitability while conserving water.

With more than 30-years of proven performance employing Kinetico’s patented regeneration valve, the CIX provides unsurpassed efficiency & water quality with counter-current regeneration of packed-resin beds using “feed-forward grain-counting and feed-back” based on outlet water conductivity & pH. Available in a single 5- or 10-gpm skid or dual skids for 20- or 25-gpm, installation requires minimal floor space and time for start-up and operator training.

System control employs an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and Panelview touch screen for human-machine interface (HMI). Short-term data-logging is through the HMI  and archived on a removable SD card, with system alerts & alarms by email and/or smart-phones available with an Ethernet connection. The system skid is constructed of 304 stainless steel with a polyurethane coating for long-term corrosion protection. Best-in-class system components include Goulds e-HM pumps, GF valves, Signet instrumentation, Purolite Resin, & SMC pneumatics.

There is quite simply not a better ion exchange waste recycling system built anywhere in the world.

CIX System Options:

Complete Ion Exchange System_Left Side_CIX1000S
Complete Ion Exchange –  CIX10S

CIX- S (Standard) – Includes system feed pump, duplex carbon filters, bag filters, cation exchangers, & anion exchangers, DI water pump, UV sterilizer to produce 3-5 uS DI water.

 CIX-HP (High Purity) – Additionally includes duplex cation polisher to produce 3 – 5 Meg-Ohm DI water 

CIX-EP (Enhanced Pretreatment) – Additionally includes backwashing duplex Macrolite filters for feed water up to 30-mg/l TSS

 

Industry Applications:

  • Electroplating
  • Metal Finishing
  • Printed Circuit Board
  • Electronics Components
  • Paint & Powder Coating
  • Parts Washing & Phosphating

Process Applications:

  • Acid Copper Rinses
  • Electrolytic Nickel Rinses
  • Tin/Lead Rinses
  • Hex & Tri Chrome Rinses
  • Electroless Cu Rinses
  • Electroless Ni Rinses

System Highlights:

Countercurrent Regeneration for Lowest Waste Volume

Counter-current chemical feed opposite to service uses 50% less chemicals reducing waste 60% while maintaining high quality

Skid Mounted/Pre-plumbed

Delivered ready-to-install with few connections requiring minimal time and space & can be easily moved

Independent Cation & Anion Regenerations Control

Cations and Anions in rinsewater are rarely equal so both vessels independently regenerate to optimize system capacity

Touch-screen Display

All system variables, setpoints, and datalogs are readily accessible on the HMI

Programmable Automation Controlled

Utilizing best-in-class Allen Bradley CompactLogix controllers and automation components

Duplex Design for 100% Operation

Each system uses two cation and anion vessels with one each always in service and one each in stand-by or regenerating
