Patent number: 12521710Abstract: A cleaning system configured to clean and regenerate resin is disclosed, including a vessel and a draw chamber having a separation screen disposed inside the bottom of the vessel. The system also includes an eductor, a plenum discharging at the top of the vessel, and a fouled/exhausted resin. The system includes a first resin regeneration chemical flowing into the vessel, and a sulfite solution circulating through the eductor into the vessel along with the resin. The system includes a scrubber module having at least one helical pathway having a conduit rotating about and propagating along an axis with a pitch. The helical pathway includes a pathway inlet in fluid communication with the bottom of the vessel and a pathway outlet in fluid communication with the top of the vessel. Resin is recirculated throughout the vessel as the separation screen and the sulfite solution work together to clean the resin.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: IONX SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Thomas O. Miller, Jared T. Miller

Patent number: 12239971Abstract: A system and method configured to restore ion exchange kinetic properties and purify resin is described. Degraded ion exchange kinetic properties of anion resin will eventually result in impurity slippage through resin charges. This system and method employs an acid catalyst in combination with sulfite cleaning solution to remove organic material and to protonate iron oxides for deconstruction and removal from anion resins. The cleaning solution, when applied via a cleaning vessel utilizing an eductor(s)/plenum and wedge-wire screen draw chamber, while controlling all phases of cleaning by electronic monitoring, yields complete restoration of ion exchange kinetics on usable resin. As such, the system and method provides a safe, effective, and vastly improved method for restoring anion resin kinetics and improving regeneration quality, for improved resin performance and minimizing resin replacement costs.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Ionx Solutions, LLCInventor: Thomas O.
