Lewatit® MonoPlus S 108 is a new strongly acidic
, gel-type cation exchange resin in the Na-form with beads of uniform size (monodisperse) based on a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Due to a special manufacturing process this resin type is extremely resistant to chemical, osmotic and mechanical stress (see chapter 4). That leads to very low leachables even under critical conditions like higher temperatures, presence of oxidants (O2, Fe-oxides) and external regeneration processes (see chapter 5). Even at very short cycle times (one cycle = service + regeneration) the special ion exchange resin matrix leads to long life cycles in demineralization processes.
The improved total capacity results in high operating capacities with a very low ionic leakage and very low regenerant consumption (see diagrams 1,5,7,11).
The extremely high monodispersity (uniformity coefficient: max. 1.05) and very low fines content of max. 0.1 % (< 0.4 mm) results in particularly low pressure losses paired with an efficient and cost optimized operation of demineralization plants.
