9.2 D.M. PLANT
In this plant process water is fed from all these dissolved salts. This plant consists of
two streams each stream with activated carbon filter, weak acid , cation exchanger and mixed
bed exchanger, The filter water to DM plant through 250 dia. header from where a heater top
off has been taken to softening plant. Two filtered water booster pumps are provided on
filtered water line formeeting the pressure requirement in DM Plant.
Sodium Sulphate solution of required strength is dosed into different filtered
water by mean of dosing pump to neutralize chlorine prior to activated carbon filter. When
water passed an activated carbon filter will remove residual chlorine from water. Provision
is made for back washing the activated carbon filter, When pressure drop across filter
exceeds 4 prescribed limit ftom the activated carbon filter the works acid cation unit. The
deception water the weak base anion exchanger unit water then enters de-gasified unit where
free CO2 is scrubbed out of water by upward counter flow of low pr. air flow through
degasified lower and degassed water is pumped to strong base exchanger ( anion exchanger).
