Stainless Steel Resin Trap

1) Introduction of Stainless Steel Resin Traps

Resin Trap Screens are widely used in water treatment processes namely in ‘Ion Exchange’ and other numerous media filter systems. This screen system is primarily used as a safety device and is positioned immediately after the outlet nozzle of the vessel/reactor.

The Profile Wire Screen element included with the main housing as depicted below eliminates the migration and loss of expensive resin/media, whilst at the same time protecting your pumping equipment. A combination of different Profile Wire sizes and slot openings can be used depending on your circumstances. Completion Products will also determine the effective screen open area in order to improve upon efficiency and minimise the pressure drop.

In the event that there is resin/media build up with the Resin Trap Screen assembly, an increase in the pressure drop will result and if one is installed, the resin/media will be visible through the “sight glass”.

2) Resin Trap Benefits

a) Eliminates mass resin/media loss into piping distribution system
b) Prevents loss of resin during backwashing
c) Protects downstream equipment and pumps
d) Visual detection of minor resin/media losses in advance of major equipment failure

3) Resin Traps Application

The resin trap is designed and installed to prevent the loss of media in the event of:

a) Underdrain failure

b) Lateral failure

c) Strainer failure

The resin trap is typically placed:

a) Between units

b) After a unit

c) In a backwash line

Package: in wood case
