slowdown

Softening is a water treatment process that removes calcium and magnesium ions, which are responsible for water hardness.
This process is essential for companies looking to prevent the formation of scale in pipes and equipment, as well as improving operational efficiency.

Softening uses ion exchange resins that replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, making the water “softer” and less prone to forming deposits.

Benefits of slowing down:

  • Prevention of fouling: Reduces the formation of mineral deposits in pipes and industrial equipment.
  • Increased efficiency: Improves the efficiency of water heaters, boilers and cooling systems.
  • Cost reduction: Reduces the need for maintenance and extends the life of the equipment.

Common applications:

  • Industries: Essential for processes that require low hardness water, such as boilers and cooling systems.
  • Commercial: Used in laundries, restaurants and other commercial applications that require treated water.
  • Hospitals and laboratories: Guaranteed treated water for sensitive processes.

Relationship with demineralization:

Softening is often used as a preliminary step in the demineralization process, helping to extend the life of the ion exchange resins and improve the efficiency of the system.
