Resin lifeD
« on: April 02, 2008, 11:49:54 pm »
Just thought I would post some 6 monthly results for di resin life (from our own experiments)

Dowex - twin di vessel - 185900ltrs of pure (now coming out of vessel 2 @ 001ppm) - input from RO 005ppm (twin 4040)

Purolite - twin di vessel - 68550ltrs of pure (now @ 002ppm) - input from RO 007ppm (merlin)

Dowex has completely outperformed the purolite, Rohm and Haas was somewhere in between these 2 last year so Dowex still by far the better resin.

Next up is Tulsion and might try some Bayer resin from Alex Gardiner.

Can't see anything coming close to beating Dowex though.

Yea, what exactly is Bayer resin, is it regen. or virgin? I've asked Alex several times, but he might have missed the email. :)

Alan,

I'm just up the road from you so give us a bell when you want a bag of Tulsion, quite a few guys in Glasgow are using it now. From one bag a month they are now ordering every 2 - 3 months.

Would be interested to know as well how it performs against Dowex as from what your ouput figures it comes close to their spec. Tulsion spec is higher than Dowex so myself would like to know how it performs.

Cheers

Doug

Alan,

Just did a quick output against Tulsion spec and I would expect around 250,000l from tds 005 , twin di, min.

And if you are the Alan Wilson from Glasgow way that everyone talks about then you will prob know me ;)

Nice one Alan, i've been saying this for ages. as you know i've done my own tests & found the same. Where's FOXMAN? or DAVEMORRIS@STIVES? both won't have any of this. Ah well, you can lead a horse to water & all that :D

DA - I'm from Braehead,

the Alan Wilson from Glasgow way?  elaborate please?  Where abouts do you work?


Macmac - hahahaha I know, but then again, maybe what works with our water might not work so well elsewhere.  different contaminants etc.  But yeah, it certainly seems Dowex is best by far. (and looks nice and golden and fluffy too!!)

Alan the pansy.

Hi Tony,

You could send us a cheque and once cleared will despatch the order, please make sure you order on your last fill of your di vessel to cover the time it takes for the cheque to clear and delivery time.

You can mail us through my website.

Cheers

Doug

I am here, what are you on about ?

One persons experiment, so that is the conclusion !!!!!

One has an higher tds input from a merlin, so not a true comparison.

Lee have sent you an email, would appreciate a reply as I have specs for both products. Something is not right as others who have used it have had the results I expected so surprised why it did not work for you.

Would appreciate if you mail us back.

Many Thanks

Doug
