Brine is a high-concentration solution of salt in water. In different contexts, brine may refer to salt solutions ranging from about 3.5% (a typical concentration of seawater, on the lower end of solutions used for brining foods) up to about 26% (a typical saturated solution, depending on temperature). Lower levels of concentration are called by different names: freshwater, brackish water, and saline water. Uses for these 150 Litre round brine tanks with salt grid, brine is an auxiliary agent in water softening and water purification systems involving ion exchange technology. Brine is not involved in the purification process itself, but used for regeneration of ion-exchange resin on a cyclical basis. The water being treated flows through the resin container until the resin is considered exhausted and water is purified to the desired level. Resin is then regenerated by sequentially backwashing the resin bed to remove accumulated solids, flushing removed ions from the resin with a concentrated solution of replacement ions, and rinsing the flushing solution from the resin. After treatment, ion-exchange resin beads saturated with calcium and magnesium ions from the treated water, are regenerated by soaking in brine containing 6–12% NaCl. The sodium ions from brine replace the calcium and magnesium ions on the beads. • Dimensions (mm) – 600mm (670mm inc Lid) Dia x 740 H • Semi-translucent sides for level viewing and equipped with litre and gallon indicators. • 100% rust proof • UK manufactured Please note: Tank sizes quoted are subject to a +/- 3% variation
