SOP: Method of Determining OBR as per current water chemistry and current Ion Exchange Capacity of Resin for

both
DM-MB and CPU-MB
1 Analyse and Calculate Ionic Load in Water
Sl.No. Constituent Mg/lit as Ion Mg/lit as CaCO3
1 Calcium
2 Magnesium
3 Sodium
4 Potassium
5 Iron
6 Copper
7 Ammonia
Cation (Total)
8 Total Alkalinity
9 Carbonate
10 Chloride
11 Sulphate
12 Nitrate
13 Carbon Dioxide
14 Fluorides
15 Phosphates
Anion (Total)
16 Silica

2 Find out the Exchange Capacities of Resins under use by analysis method in Lab
in Kg/m3
(Methods attached, Adopt the Cation Exchange Capacity
easiest one) Anion Exchange Capacity
SiO2/Cl Exchange Capacity

3 Find out Significant Ratio and apply Correction Factor

DM-MB Factor to Exchange
Na/TC % Capacity
Alk/TC %
SO4/TA %
SiO2/TA %
CO2/TA %
Cation Deaeration Factor
Anion Deaeration Factor
SBA Deaeration Factor (Silica)

4 Note The Resin Quantity in Litres or m 3

Cation Resin m3
Anion Resin m3
Anion Resin for Silica/Chloride m3

5 Resin Volume x Exchange Capacity ( Total Exchanger Capacity in Kg)

Cation Resin
Anion Resin
Anion Resin for Silica/Chloride

6 Inlet Cation and Anion Load from 1

kg
Cation
Anion
Anion Resin for Silica/Chloride

7 Calculate OBR OBR (separately Each) m3 Lowest of the OBR in right will be
Lowest of the OBR in right Cation Resin considered for operations
will be considered for Anion Resin
operations
