LEWATIT® MonoPlus SM 1001 KR

Product Description

Lewatit® MonoPlus SM 1001 KR is a ready-to-use mixed bed comprising strongly acidic gel-type cation and strongly basic (type I) gel-type anion exchange resins in fully regenerated form. Lewatit® MonoPlus SM 1001 KR is a cation to anion exchanger 2:1 mixture, premium grade and purified to meet nuclear industry specifications. Lewatit® nuclear resins (Lewatit® KR) are noted for their outstanding mechanical and chemical stability as well as their high osmotic stability. Because of their excellent hydrodynamic properties, Lewatit® KR resins allow particularly high flow rates. The extremely high monodispersity and very low fines content result in particularly low pressure losses compared with standard resins. Designed for operation in radioactive water circuits, they can be used in multiple applications in that specific area. The achievable water quality complies with the requirements of the nuclear power industry. Potential applications of Lewatit® MonoPlus SM 1001 KR: » polishing in the primary and secondary sections as a mixed bed component » decontamination of circuits in nuclear reactor plants » treatment of primary coolant e.g. in pressure water reactors » purification of steam generator blowdown irrespective of the condition with Levoxin (hydrazine), ethanolamine or morpholine » removal of activated cleavage or corrosion products, including mechanical filtration of suspended impurities » polishing in the moderator water purification section of Candu reactor stations (gadolinium and nitrate removal). The special properties of this product can only be fully utilized if the technology and process used correspond to the current state-of-the-art.
