Before to Calculate the capacity of the Water Softener (softening) Plant, to choose how much water to be softened. In this case, 100M3 to be softened at 400 ppm of Feed Hardness to 5 ppm.
How to Calculate the resin capacity?
The Resin Exchange Capacity is mention into the product’s supplier Data Sheet*.
Normally cationic exchange capacity : 55/liter of resin.
Hence, Liter of resin = (Feed Hardness in ppm X Water Qty M3) / Exchange capacity
= (400 x 100 / 55) = 727 liter resin sufficient
How to Calculate Salt Quantity?
= 110 Kg NaCl (150 Gram NaCl / liter of resin)
so quantity of water require to dilute @100% solution
= say 344 Liter Water { solubility of NaCl (320 Gram NaCl @ 20 Deg C / liter of Water )}
to get 10 % solution add 3440 liter of water
Now 3784 liter is having for regeneration and that much of water to be injected 20 Minute
then start backwash process to another 40 minute
after that fast rinse until get hardness is < 5 ppm once it is reached now the plant is ready to start the process, it can extract up to 100 m3
Feed pressure to be maintained up1.5 – 2 Bar,
*Resign exchange capacity is important, it is vary product to product.

How to Calculate Salt Quantity?
= 150 Kg NaCl { ? 150 Gram NaCl / liter of resin)
Is the above calcualtion wrong?
150 Gram NaCl x 727 = 109.05 Kgs of NaCl
Please correct me if I am wrong.
109.05 kgs is correct, thanks to point it
please give me softner plant vessel size calculate
Thanks & regards

Sir please send me how to calculate softner vessel, and resion capacity .
Thanking you sir.
Dear sir,
softner resion capacity 3272 liters, how to design softner shell sizes,and pipe line sizes, and pump capacity.
thanking you sir.
600mm x 1875mm height
How to calculate Softener vessel size for 1309 litres resin volume. Kindly mention each and every steps in detail.for 900 mm bed depth
how to formula of new softener design
Correct sir
what is the meaning of 727
727 Liter
1l me garm
50 l me kg
Also please let me know what is the purity of NaCL you have considered in the above calculation
80 to 85%
Sir, tds is 1059ppm and daily need 2000lit water plz give the resin qty and vessel size for daily recharge and also give salt qty to recharge.
Sir, tds is 1059ppm and daily need 2000lit water plz give the resin qty and vessel size for daily recharge and also give salt qty to recharge. Awaiting reply.
Dear sir
Your information more help full to take knowledge.
please wats the best approach to this design question
Design a water softening plant for a water work having the following data:
Hardness of water= 450 mg/liter as CaCo3
Available hardness after treatment = 50 mg/liter as CaCo3
Quantity of water to be treated = 25000 liter/ hour
Ion exchange capacity of resin to be used in the plant = 10 kg of hardness / cub.m
Salt required for regeneration of resin= 45 kg/ cub.m of the resin
The water softening plant works 2 shifts of 8 hours per day. Assume any suitable data where necessary.
thank u
calculation resin quantity
Liter of resin = Feed hardness in ppm * Water quantity in M 3 per hr/ Exchange capacity
Calculation of salt in gm = 150 gm of salt per liter of resin* quantity of resin in liters
Calculation of salt in Kg = 150 gm of salt per liter of resin* quantity of resin in liters/1000
What would be the efficiency of hardness removal we could expect? From say 800 ppm by this method how much hardness can we remove and what would be left?
Thanks

WHAT IS THE PRESSURE DROP FOR USING 1000 LPH SOFTENER BY USING 10X54(Dia. x Height) with multiport valve. eg. inlet pressure is 2 kg / cm square, what is the output pressure after softening
how to calculate the hypo dosing in wtp?????
Feed flow X Required ppm x Plant Running Hrs / 10 x 6 (% of hypo chemical)
What would be the efficiency of hardness removal we could expect? From say 800 ppm by this method how much hardness can we remove and what would be left?
our flow rate 30 m3/hr and Hardness calculate for resin is 320 ppm. But inlet hardness is vary from 250 ppm to 700 ppm and we use the softener vessels is 48x72 and resin qty is 1210 ltr. and our Obr is 200 m3/ hr. so after regeneration we got hardness only 20 ppm but party required less than 5 ppm so, what we do.
Please make NaCl solution by Soft Water for regeneration and Keep Another Softener vessel on the basis of 20 ppm hardness. i think it ill solve this issue.
We have 20 m3/hr Softener tank and our Raw water hardness 95 ppm and TDS 1080 ppm Kindly suggest the recipe how much resin required and how much NaCl is required for soften it?
hallo sir we need Building construction water softeners desining
Dear khurram Shahzad,
Hardness is 95 say 100 PPM. your flow rate is 20 m3/hr take regeneration after every 24 hr i.e. after 480 m3. because your hardness is not much.
kg load of CaCO3 is 48 kg. i.e. if we take exchange capacity of resin 55% resign require will be 875 lit.
NaCl required will be 135 kg for each regeneration
Mr Kunal salt 131 kg enough
i need frp softner base on 150000 ltr soft water every day on 700 ppm
pls suggest
