Abstract: An apparatus and method for regenerating spent ion exchange resin and recovering regenerant fluid is described. A regeneration system has a regeneration vat, a regeneration solution tank, a regenerant recovery tank, a chemical dispenser, a solids separator, a pH adjuster and a pump. The regeneration vat holds the spent resin and is connected to the regeneration solution tank to allow transfer of regenerant solution into the regeneration vat. Spent regenerant fluid travels to the regenerant recovery tank, where it is treated with chemicals provided from the chemical dispenser. The solids separator receives the treated regenerant liquid and separates precipitate flocs from the treated regenerant liquid. The concentration of chloride ions in the separated regenerant solution can be adjusted by the pH adjuster to form fresh regenerant solution. The pump pumps the fresh regenerant solution to the regenerant solution tank to regenerate additional spent cation exchange resin.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for regenerating spent ion exchange resin is described. In one method, a fresh regenerant solution comprising sodium ions and chloride ions is prepared, and passed across spent cation exchange resin to regenerate the spent resin. To recover the spent regenerant solution, a regenerant treatment composition is added to the spent solution to form precipitate flocs, which are then separated out of the regenerant solution. The concentration of at least one of the sodium or chloride ions in the regenerant solution can also be adjusted to form fresh regenerant solution which can be reused.
