    DM Plant Operation

    The document describes the process of operating a DM plant to purify raw water for boiler feed water. The key steps are: 1) Raw water first passes through dual media filters and activated carbon filters to remove suspended solids, turbidity, and organic compounds. 2) The water then undergoes ion exchange using strong acid cation resin to remove positive ions like calcium and magnesium, followed by strong base anion resin to remove negative ions like silica and chlorides. 3) The treated water passes through a mixed bed of cation and anion resin to further polish the water before being stored in DM tanks. A degasser tower and morpholine dosing are used to control pH and remove dissolved gases

    DM PLANT OPERATION

    NEED FOR DM PLANT


    Composition of raw water differ from
    source to source
    Mainly three types of impurities
    available in water
    1. Gases Co2, O2
    2. Suspended solids turbidity, organic
    matters
    3. Dissolved solids salts of
    Ca,Na,Mg,Al,Fe,Cl
    For use as feed water in boiler these
    are to be removed as they get
    deposited in heat transfer zone there
    by restricting heat transfer and may
    lead to corrosion also.

    DM PLANT SPECIFICATION
    The capacity of DM plant is 5.6 m3/hr
    * 2 streams.
    SAC and SBA are designed for
    operation of 20 hrs and MB designed
    for 140 hrs
    DUAL MEDIA FILTER
    Used for removal of suspended
    solids, turbidity
    Raw water passed through the DMF
    contains fine sand reinforced by
    marbled and gravels.
    Outlet parameter 0.5 NTU
    Backwash carried out after 20 hours
    of operation
    ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
    Used for removing organic
    constituents and FRC in water supplies
    It protects ion exchange resins from
    possible damage due to oxidation or
    organic fouling
    Water from ACF outlet has no chlorine.
    still contains dissolved cations and
    anions
    These removed by ion exchange
    ION EXCHANGE
    The ion exchange process take place
    as hard water passes through the
    softening material called resins
    Resins are organic substance
    consists of matrix and functional
    group.
    Functional group are responsible for
    ion exchange
    STRONG ACID CATION
    The SAC resins HAVE -SO3 H
    (sulphonic acid) group as exchange
    sites
    The SAC resins can convert nearly all
    Positive salts corresponding acid

    Capacity 900 litres- resin type: C20


    During service
    Ca CO3 H2Co3 Ca
    RH + Mg CO3 H2Co3 +R Mg
    Na SiO2 Sio2, Cl Na
    NaCl
    During regeneration

    Ca CaCl
    R Mg + HCL MgCl + R H
    Na NaCl
    Exhaustion of resins can be monitored
    by sodium leakage from bed as Na is
    monovalent and start slipping first
    Parameter after SAC
    pH :2.0 2.5
    Conductivity:700 900
    Sodium:< 1ppm
    PRINCIPAL OF DEGASSER
    Thesolubility of gas obeysHenry's
    law, that is, the amount of a
    dissolved gas in a liquid is
    proportional to itspartial pressure.
    Therefore, placing a solution under
    reduced pressure makes the
    dissolved gas less soluble
    FUNCTION OF DEGASSER
    Carbonic acid is very week acid, it
    decompose into H20 & CO2

    H2CO3 H2O+CO2
    Non functioning of degasser will
    increase load on SBA
    STRONG BASE ANION
    Remove dissociated ions
    Strong Base Anion Resins have
    quaternaryaminogroups R--NH3OH
    Capacity 870 liters- type A101D
    Exchanger process
    Na2SiO3 SiO3
    R OH + NaclR Cl + NaoH
    DURING REGENERATION

    R SiO3 R OH + Na2SiO3
    R Cl +NaOH R OH + NaCl
    Exhaustion of resins can be monitored by
    Increase in conductivity
    Decrease in pH
    Silica leakage
    Silica is the main criteria of exhaustion of
    anion resin
    Parameter after SBA:
    pH:7.5 8.5
    Conductivity:<5s/cm
    Silica:<.02ppm
    MIXED BED
    Mixed bed known as polishing unit
    It produces DM water of conductivity
    around 0.2 S/cm
    Silica leakage is <0.02ppm
    Consists of CATION and ANION
    exchange resins
    Capacity C2O 60 liters
    A101D 60liters
    Parameter after MB outlet
    pH:5.8 6.5
    Conductivity:<1s/cm
    Silica: <0.02ppm
    MORPHOLINE

    pH booster
    After dosing pH will be 8.5 9.0
    To avoid corrosion in pipe line and in
    DMST
