Massive leakage of chelating resin
Thread Content
Question: What are the effects of prolonged resin leakage from the resin tower on the electrolyzer and the ion exchange membrane? Does it affect the quality of the final alkaline product?

First, there are issues with the quality of the saltwater. Second, the filter at the anode inlet gets clogged, and broken small resin particles end up in the electrolyzer, causing physical damage to the ion membrane. If the membrane is damaged, it affects the quality of the resulting alkali, and various parameters such as chloride levels become abnormal
Resin leakage from the resin tower over an extended period of time – leakage occurs at that specific location; the amount of leakage varies. In most cases, the leakage is detected after some time, allowing for timely intervention
