Core has the equipment and expertise to facilitate both batch and continuous IX testing and piloting:
- A library of ion exchange resins stored on-site. Additionally, relationships with resin suppliers allow for project-specific manufacturer resin recommendations and provision of resin samples for testing.
- Glassware and stirring equipment to run resin shake-out tests for up front resin screening tests.
- Custom fabricated acrylic ion exchange columns, from 20 mm to 50 mm ID. Columns can be operated in downflow or up flow with fluidised bed, at 500 mL/h to 5 L/h influent flow rates.
- Pilot-scale IX rig, supplied by IPEX, capable of up to 60 L/h influent flow rates. The rig consists of four 200 mm ID IX columns connected in series, allowing batch-continuous operation of a lead-lag-polishing 3-stage loading regime, with the fourth column offline for washing and stripping.
