INSTALLATION
3.1.
How to remove packaging
The packaging consist of a wooden crate which contains the deionization plant skidmounted.
Open the wooden crate removing, first, the cover and, then, the wall sides. Keep the cards
and everything contained inside the packaging.
3.2.
How to move and lift the unit
The pipes of the plant are made in plastic material, hence they can be easily damaged.
Do not lift and/or move the unit by any part of the plant. To lift the unit, use only fork-lift or
other equipment suitable for the weight and dimensions to be lifted/displaced. Take care
to correct balance the weight in order to avoid rolling of the load during displacements.
Insert the forks under the pallet-type side of the skid of the unit (see
INSTALLATION/DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT drawing).
3.3.
Placing & commissioning
Place the unit on a perfectly flat surface.
Follow the directions of the dimensional drawing for the correct placing of the unit,
according to the dimensions of the available room and the required room for service and
maintenance (see INSTALLATION/DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT drawing).
In some cases, for practical sake, the plant is shipped as sub-assembly, hence the
commissioning of the units is required. The shipped separated parts are marked with
numbered cards.
The operation for commissioning are :
• Place the skid on a perfectly flat surface.
• Put the columns of the resins and the bar with valves on the skid and fix them
according to the directions and the installation diagram (attached) as well as the
numbered cards.
• Load the resins inside the columns (C = cation, A = anion), according to the supplied
quantities. Check that the supplied and available quantities of resins comply exactly
with required quantities for the model, as shown on the attached table "characteristics
for each model" § 2.3.
To load the resins inside the vessel, proceed as follows :
◊ Keep the distribution pipe with bottom nozzle, exactly in the center of the vessel,
while loading the resins. Take care that the resins do not fall inside the pipe; it can
be useful to put on the hole a scotch tape or something else, during the loading.
◊ After the loading has been completed, remove the scotch tape, if used, and clean
perfectly the thread hole of the vessel, taking off the spheres of resins that could be
there. Proceed in screwing on the cap with inlet/outlet connections; the distribution
pipe must be inserted inside the proper hole in the lower part of the cap. In order to
make this operation easier, it is suggested to lubricate the end of the pipe or to wet it
with water.
◊ After that, check that the O-ring seal between cap and vessel is not damaged and
is properly placed. Screw firmly the cap on the vessel just tightening it by hand only.
Do not use any tools.

Hydraulic connections
(see drawing INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS WEIGHT )
• connect the pipe of the water to be treated to the fitting of the main flow meter of water. It
is recommended that the water pressure should be constant (between 2,5 and 4 bar); the
installation of a pressure reducer on the inlet line should be provided. The inlet pipe of raw
water should be properly sized. (Ø ≥ the one shown on the drawing INSTALLATION).
• complete the line from the outlet fitting, placed on the 3A valve, to the storage tank of
treated water, using PVC or other suitable material; the DIA of the connecting pipe must
be properly sized. (Ø ≥ the one shown on the drawing INSTALLATION).
• complete the pipes from the drain fittings, mounted on both the columns, to the
neutralization tank, using PVC or other suitable material; the DIA of the connecting pipe
must be properly sized. (Ø ≥ the one shown on the drawing INSTALLATION).
• connect the drawing fittings of the chemicals (HCl and NaOH), placed on the lower side of
the flow meters, to the chemical storage tanks. The HCl drawing fitting is mounted on the
cation column, the NaOH drawing fitting is mounted on the anion column. It is
recommended to use PVC or other suitable material; the DIA of the connecting pipe must
be properly sized. (Ø ≥ the one shown on the drawing INSTALLATION).
NB:
3.5.
• The pipe unions are complete with O-ring seals, hence they have to be only
handling tightened, using no tools.
• Use PTFE tape for the thread connections
Pneumatic connections
• connect the service air fitting placed on the solenoid valves group to a service air
supply line, equipped with pressure reducer, dehumidifier filter, shut-off valve. The air
must be dry, oil-free and with pressure at least 2,5 bars higher than the pressure of the
inlet water, but not exceeding 7 bar
• connect the outlet fitting of each solenoid valve to the correspondent diaphragm valve,
according to the numbered position (see also § 5.4)

PRINCIPLES OF WORKING
The process of deionization is featured by ion exchange. The resins contained in the cation
column exchange all the metal cations against H ions, of which they are charged. When the
resins are exhausted, they are fully charged of metal ions (cations), while they do not have any
more H ions available for exchanging and they need to be regenerated.
The anion exchanger completes the process of deionization. The resins contained in the
anion column exchange all the acid anions against OH ions, of which they are charged. When
the resins are exhausted, they are fully charged of acid ions (anions), while they do not have
any more OH ions available for exchanging and they need to be regenerated.
Regeneration means exchanging back H and OH ions available from chemicals regenerants
(HCl and NaOH) against metals and acids ions which are carried away to waste treatment.
The starting of regeneration of exhausted line is usually programmed according to the
conductivity of treated water.
The control panel handles the working of the regeneration.
The regeneration consists of a backwashing, an injection of the chemicals regenerants
followed by a rinsing of the resins. These operations run for both exchangers (cation-anion)
The complete regeneration (backwashing- chemical drawing- rinse) of both exchangers
takes approx 180 minutes.
4.1.
Quality control & end-cycle
The conductivity of treated water is continuously checked and visualized by conductivitymeter, built-in the control panel.
Two adjustable set-points (K1 and K2) are available in the conductivity-meter, allowing to set
the end-cycle of the deionizer.
The set-point K1 has been adjusted, during the running test of the system, at a value of 10
µS/cm (factory-set), while the set-point K2 is not used.
Therefore, the set-point K1 is the threshold value of conductivity to switch the end-cycle;
when this value is reached, the red lamp “HIGH CONDUCTIVITY” turns ON; in the same time
the outlet valve of the deionizer is closed, in order to avoid to supply water of not-satisfactory
quality.
If water does not flush inside the resins bed, i.e. when the treated water is not required, a reionization of the still water can occur.
Therefore, the first water supplied after the interruption of service could be of an
unsatisfactory quality, although it is not depending on the exhausting of the resins.
The system is arranged in order that, when the conductivity exceeds the pre-set value, the
drain valve automatically opens, featuring a “test-drain” for a pre-fixed time, in order to check if
the unsatisfactory quality is caused by the exhausting of the resins or by a too long standing of
the water itself inside the resin bed. During this feature, named “QUALITY CONTROL”, both
lamps “HIGH CONDUCTIVITY” and “QUALITY CONTROL” are ON, and the outlet valve is
closed.
The time of the phase “QUALITY CONTROL” can be modified by mean of the operating
panel of PLC, as explained at proper chapter (factory set at the shipment, 180”).
Whether the quality of water, during this phase, will turn on a satisfactory value (below the
thre-shold value of set-point), the system turns on service again; otherwise, the end-cycle is
featured and the system turns on "REGENERATION REQUIRED”, indicated by the turning ON
of the related lamp.
The regeneration can be started by simply turning, for at least some seconds, the mode
selector on “AUT” position. The regeneration will be automatically completed.
Obviously, whether the mode selector is already on “AUT” position, the regeneration will
automatically start, without any manual operation.

The phase "ANION RINSE" stops when the conductivity of drain water reaches a value
lower than the set-point (K1 set on conductimeter). If this value is not reached within the
maximum pre-set time (60 minutes), the rinse is stopped anyway and the regeneration is
blocked on “LONG RINSE” (“ALARM REGENERATION”) phase.
When regeneration is blocked on this phase, it is possible to run a further rinse, by
opening the drain valve 1A. The valve can be opened mechanically, by driving the
manual command of the solenoid valve 1A; it can also be opened electrically by turning
the mode selector on “0” position and pushing the button "ADVANCE PHASE". By
releasing the button, the valve 1A is closed.
WARNING : Regeneration can be completed only whether the value of conductivity goes down
below the thre-shold value of set-point K1. In order to repeat the regeneration,
when the regeneration is blocked on "LONG RINSE" (“ALARM REGENERATION”)
phase, it is required to modify temporary the conductivity set-point to a value
appearing satisfactory, by electronic logical only.

A simple pushing of the red button (placed on the wall-side of the
panel) stops immediately the system. To re-start just rotate the
same button approx 30° clockwise.
Every pushing of the button allows to advance at the following
phase of regeneration, when the mode selector of the
correspondent line is on “0” position.
Referred to the mode of starting of regeneration and service :
The deionizer automatically turns on regeneration at the end of
service and on service at the end of regeneration.
The deionizer stops on “REGENERATION REQUIRED” at the end
of service. The regeneration can be started by turning the mode
selector on “AUT” position.
The deionizer stops on “REGENERATION REQUIRED” at the end
of service, or in stand-by at the end of regeneration, avoiding to turn
on service.
The service can be started by turning the mode selector, even
temporarly, on “AUT” or also on “MAN” position.
the lamps on the control panel shows the status of the system, as well as the open valves.
the phases of resins settling are not visualized.
the states of “LONG RINSE” (“ALARM REGENERATION”) and REGENERATION
REQUIRED” are joined in only one free voltage contact for remote alarm.
5.1.
How to stop the service, at any moment
When the deionizer is on service, it is possible to force the turning on “REGENERATION
REQUIRED” state, proceeding as follows ;
• Turn the mode selector on "0" position.
• Push the button “ADVANCE PHASES” for 5 consecutive seconds.
The system turns on “REGENERATION REQUIRED” status.
WARNING : the regeneration will start only when the mode selector will be turned, at least
for 2 seconds, on “AUT” position.
5.2.
How to advance manually the phase of the regeneration
During the regeneration, the phases can be manually advanced, by turning the mode
selector on "0" position and pushing the button "ADVANCE”
This features is not working during "LONG RINSE" (“ALARM REGENERATION”) phase;
it must be overpassed only according to the conductivity.

The diaphragm valves n. 5A e 6A, are Normally Open, all the rest are Normally Closed.
All solenoid valves are 3-ways Normally Closed.
All solenoid valves can be hand-driven by turning the lever placed at the base of each of
them : the action of the lever simulate the excitation of the coil.
So, for the (NC) Normally Closed solenoid valve, the valve is closed when the lever is on
parallel to the base; it is open and is driving the diaphragm valve, when the lever is on
perpendicular to the base.

PLC : HANDLING OF THE MEMORY
The PLC is equipped with an internal EEPROM containing the original software.
The software and the temporary data are kept in the RAM by the power supply or, in case of
power failure, by an high capacity condenser for maximum time of 190 hours approx.
Whether the condenser is charged, the PLC keeps the whole software in the RAM, even in
case of power failure; therefore when the power turns on again, the program is not loaded from
EEPROM.
The PLC loads the program from EEPROM only when the power turns ON afterthat it has
been swicthed OFF and if the high capacity condenser is uncharged.
NOTE :
When the program is loaded from EEPROM, the modifications (if any) made by
operating panel will get lost and they are replaced with the initial values of the
software (therefore all factory set values).

STARTING UP & ADJUSTMENT
Starting up the unit means allowing a complete regeneration of the resins, and adjusting,
during each phase, the membrane valves to the proper required flow rate for the running phase.
The flow rates and the valves to be adjusted are listed in the TIME & PHASES table.
At the beginning it is suggested to operate by driving manually the solenoid valves (see §
Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.).
The above way allows to stop, repeat or running for longer time each phase, adjusting
properly the flow rates according to the value of the attached table.
Proceed according to "PHASES & TIME" table, starting from phase n. 0 (CATION
BACKWASH).
The first part of BACKWASH (both ANION and CATION) allows to fill the columns with water;
the flow rate must be adequately low until the columns will be completely filled.
The time of first backwash (both ANION and CATION) must be extended longer than the
table time (at least 30') until the drain water will be perfectly clean.
For all the other phases it can be operated according to time shown on the tables.
During the phases of regenerant injection, the flow rates of the regenerant chemical and their
dilution water progressively decrease; if it happens, adjust continuously the flow rates at a
correct value until 5'÷10' before the end of the phase.
It is possible that the adjustments of the flow rates at the beginning will not be correct,
furthermore at the low flow rates (that mean high restriction of valve flow), due to the fact that
the membranes, particularly the new ones, are rigid and not easy to be immediately and
properly adjusted.
The manual valves, mounted next to the diaphragm valves, have to be used for adjustment
of flow rates of HCl and NaOH.
When the regeneration is completed, the unit is on service, if the quality of the product water
meets the desired value.
At the shipment, the new resins are totally exhausted, hence another regeneration could be
required.
When all adjustments and the manual regeneration have been completed, the control panel
can be turned on automatic mode.
However, it is suggested to verify, during the running of the first automatic regeneration, that
the pre-set flow rates and times are correct.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Generally speaking, this kind of plant does not require any scheduled maintenance
operations.
Indeed, the only parts that could be damaged, during the working, are the electrical
components and the moving parts; in details :
• membranes of the automatic valves, that can aged after years and hair-cracked.
• solenoid valves, that can be electrically failed or dirty if the pilot air is not perfectly clear.
• common electrical components (relays, lamps, etc.).
It is important to note that the plant and all area around should be kept clean, in order to
realize immediately any mechanical or hydraulic dysfunction.
Indeed, dust or wet part can hide leakages or crackings, that otherwise should be
immediately noted.
The correct handling of the plants requires the following points:
• the water to be treated must be free of suspended particles; a proper filtration should be
provided.
• check that the water pressure and flow rates meet the defined ones.
• check that the air pressure meets the defined ones.
• each regeneration phase must run according to the defined flow rate.
• the best condition of service are a continuous flow of water at a constant flow rate; too long
stillness of the water inside the resins bed should be avoided.
• before starting a regeneration, check that proper quantity of chemicals are available in the
regenerant tanks.
WARNING :
The piping of the system contains dangerous chemicals.
The operators must be aware of the hazard and danger of the chemicals used in the
process.
The maintenance operations must be performed only by skilled and authorized
operators, using proper tools and CE marked personal protection devices (gloves,
masks, cloths, etc).
It is also required to follow strictly the directions mentioned on the safety bulletins of
the chemicals themselves.

CHECKING OF THE RESINS
If the conductivity of the product water is not satisfactory, it is possible to check quickly the
conditions of the resins, by testing the Hardness and the pH values of the outlet water from the
cation and anion columns (using the sampling cocks).
1. The Hardness of the outlet water from the cation column must be NIL, and the pH must be
very low (2-3 according to the quality of the treated water). An higher pH value and/or the
presence of Hardness means that the resins is not regenerated properly, hence a
regeneration is required.
2. After checked that the quality of the outlet water from the cation column meets the above
mentioned standard, proceed to test the outlet water from the anion column : its Hardness
must be NIL, and the pH between 7 and 9. The presence of Hardness means a fouling of the
anion resins, that could be caused by a flowing of hard water through it. According to this
condition, a washing of the anion resins with HCl followed by a double regeneration with
NaOH could be required.
3. A pH value lower than 7 means a failing regeneration (or the exhausting) of the anion resins,
hence that a regeneration is required.
4. A pH value higher than 9, together with hardness NIL, means that the anion resins is still
impregnated with NaOH regenerant, and a new rinse should be provided. This situation can
be often found at the end of the regeneration cycle, in the “LONG RINSE” (“ALARM
REGENERATION”) state.
The causes can be the following :
1. too large quantity of NaOH drawn (the 7A valve is not correctly adjusted)
2. too small quantity of dilution water (the 6A valve is not correctly adjusted or a pressure drop
of the inlet water occurred during the “NaOH DRAWING “ or “ANION RINSE “phases).
In
this case it is suggested to rinse again the anion resins, by handly opening the drain valve
E1A.
WARNING :
The mentioned pH values are average values: they are strictly
depending on the chemical composition of the water to be treated.
I.e. an high value of sodium in the water to be treated causes an increase
in the pH value of the product water, quite apart from the presence of
regenerant NaOH.
In this situation, the presence of NaOH is inevitably caused by a natural
leakage of the Na from the cation resin.
Therefore, it is suggested, for further reference and comparation, to use
the values already verified with the same water to be treated.

HOW TO REPLACE THE RESINS
Whether the replacement of resins is required, proceed as follows :
•
•
•
•
13.
Switch OFF the main power
Unscrew the top-mounted cap with IN/OUT connections.
Take out the resins using an aspirator or by mean of a siphon.
Be sure that the under-valve nozzle and bottom distribution nozzle are not damaged.
Proceed as explained at § 3.3 to load new resins
Proceed as explained at § 8 for starting-up after replacement of resins.
DISPOSAL
In case of disposal of the unit or parts of it, it must be made according to local laws
concerning the waste of the materials. It should be taken in consideration that resins are usually
listed as plastic materials and not as toxic or harmful material.
