LEWATIT® S 1568

Product Description

Lewatit® S 1568 is a food grade, gel-type, strongly acidic cation exchange resin based on a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The favourable kinetics allows a distinctly higher operating capacity as this applies to comparable ion exchange resins with a heterodisperse bead size distribution. A much better total capacity enables long cycle times with a low leakage and economic quantities of regenerants.

Lewatit® S 1568 is very suitable for:

• The softening of aqueous solutions, specially of juices occurring in the production of sugar and pectine
• The decationization of solutions of organic products, e.g. beets, sugar cane, starch sugar, glycerol, gelatin, food grade acids etc.
• The production of amino acids, e.g. lysine

Lewatit® S 1568 provides the resin filling with the following features:

• A high exchange capacities in the regeneration and loading processes
• A very good utilization of the total capacity
• A low demand for wash water
• A continuous flow of regeneration agents, water and solutions, equally shaped working zone
• An almost linear pressure loss gradient along the whole bed depth, therefore an operation at higher bed depths is possible
• An outstanding separation of components in the mixed bed filter

If using Lewatit® S 1568 for treating potable water and the a.m. aqueous solutions, you have to follow our recommendations for the start-up which are available on request.
