Water deionization system Rapide Strata™

Rapide Strata™ is a high-performance range of ion exchange deionizers with short cycle regeneration for the production of high-purity water for various industrial applications. Fully standardized, the Rapide Strata units offer a regeneration time of only 30 to 60 minutes, minimizing downtime and improving bacterial control as well as the efficiency of the chemicals used. These ion exchange systems are particularly suitable for use in the pharmaceutical and beverage industries for boiler feed, surface finishing and general industry applications. Rapide Strata is a skid-mounted and pre-commissioned resin bed water deionizer that removes all the dissolved salts from water in a single process that combines both Veolia Water Technologies’ short cycle deionization technology and an innovative pulse regeneration sequence. The system consists of two or three beds (glass-reinforced plastic pressure vessels) holding the ion exchange resins, together with a process pump, pipework, valves, flowmeters and controls. This enables the production of continuous high-quality deionized water and the automatic regeneration of the resins when required. The components are all mounted on a compact steel framework, coated for corrosion resistance. How Rapide Strata works The raw water is first conditioned, usually using reverse osmosis membranes or nanofiltration, to remove organic matter and other contaminants. Next, clean water enters the Rapide Strata deionization system and flows through ion exchange resins, small and porous plastic beads offering a large surface area to exchange the ions present in the water;
