Appendix #6: Module Regeneration Procedure
A module needs regeneration whenever it has been operated so as to exhaust the
internal resins with ions. This may happen during cleaning, extended shutdown, or if
module is run with the power too low or off. The regeneration process is designed to
drive the excess ions out and enable the module to operate under steady state.
The regeneration procedure forces excess ions out of the module by significantly
changing the operating parameters for a short time
—the feed ions are reduced and
the electrical driving force is increased. The excess ions are driven from the purifying
chamber into the concentrate chamber where the ion concentrate significantly
increases.

1. Set main product flow to setting above (which is the lower limit for each model).
Set the concentrate flow to above setting (15-20% of feed flow). This gives a
recovery of 80-85%. Leave the electrode flow at normal (e.g. XL is 10 lph (0.05
gpm)). Raise voltage to the setting above. Alternatively, set the power supply on
“current control” and set the current at 150%-200% of normal operating current.
Run module
—TDS in concentrate will be very high.
2. When concentrate TDS d
rops to approximately 100 ppm (200 μS/cm) or lower,
decrease concentrate flowrate to ½ of above setting. The other settings remain
the same. This should cause the concentrate TDS to double.
3.
When concentrate TDS lowers down to 80 ppm (160 μS/cm) or so, increase the
main feed to nominal flow. All other settings remain the same. Run unit for one
(1) hour.
4.
After one hour of runtime, set power supply to “voltage control” and return voltage
to normal operating value (very important). Set concentrate outlet to normal flow
rate (10% of product). Electrode flow has remained the same throughout the
procedure.
5. Run the unit at these settings; module should be fully regenerated and the quality
of the product should be normal. Note: the above is an approximate guide. You
may need to vary the parameters to achieve regeneration.
