Lakes Area Kinetico

Special Applications

These configurations use special ion exchange resins and media, and are designed to address specific contaminant concerns such as sulfur, nitrates, alkalinity, chlorine and pH.

	Dealkalization Kinetico’s DA Series specify the operation of Kinetico products, modified to operate as dealkalizer systems. These systems reduce alkalinity through the chlorine exchange of bicarbonate ions.
		Key Feature • Regeneration cycle uses softener salt, eliminating need for specialty chemicals Features/Benefits • No timers, simple operation • Volume demand initiated regenerations, saves salt by only regenerating when needed. • Counter-current regenerations maximizes system efficiency and quality of product water • Processed water used for regenerating tanks. • Full port size – offers maximum flow with minimum pressure loss

	Nitrate Reduction Kinetico’s NR Series specify the operation of Kinetico products, modified to operate as Nitrate Reduction systems. These systems reduce Nitrate through the use of selective ion exchange media.
		Key Feature • Nitrate Selective resin maximizes regeneration efficiency Features/Benefits • No timers, simple operation • Specialized nitrate selective media - reduces operational costs • Volume demand-initiated regenerations- save salt by only regenerating when needed • Counter-current regenerations - maximize system efficiency and quality of product water • Processed water used for regenerating tanks. • Full port size – offers maximum flow with minimum pressure loss

	Up-Flow Neutralizers Up flow neutralizer systems are available for the adjustment of low pH streams. These units use calcite media to add carbonate to the water, which acts as a buffer to low pH sources.
		Key Feature • Simple and safe calcium carbonate used for pH adjustment Features/Benefits • Up flow service configuration prevents water channeling through media • Full port size for maximum for and minimum pressure loss • No backwash valve means simple installation and operation • Continuous service through a single tank

	Dechlorination Up flow dechlorination systems are available for the removal of free chlorine from feed supplies. These units use carbon media to remove organics and free chlorine from feed water.
		Key Feature • No backwash waste stream Features/Benefits • Up flow service configuration - prevents water channeling through media • Full port size – offers maximum flow with minimum pressure loss • No backwash valve - simple installation and operation • Continuous service through a single tank

	Automatic Neutralizers The neutralizer system is designed to integrate with an automatic deionization system allowing for the pH adjustment of spent chemicals generated during regeneration of deionization systems. The neutralizer operates in a batch mode, adjusting the batch to within a preset range, as defined by the user.
		Key Feature • User defined pH range for batch discharge. Features/Benefits • Industrial design – can endure the harshest environments • PLC control - automates all system functions, making operation simple • Skid mounted, pre-plumbed and pre-wired - for quick and easy installation • Batch neutralization tank - allows for self-neutralization of collected wastes • Chemical injection eductors - reduce costs through the use of concentrated chemicals

	Membrane Clean in Place Systems During the operation of the RO system the membranes are subject to the dissolved materials present in the feed water. These materials periodically require cleaning from the RO system. The CIP System is designed to integrate with Kinetico’s TI RO system, allowing the unit to go through periodic cleaning cycles. The cleaning process uses a variety of chemicals depending on the type of fouling present.
		Key Feature • Mobile system provides system cleaning when needed, then storages when not used Features/Benefits • Industrial design – can endure the harshest environments • PLC control - automates all system functions • Skid mounted, pre-plumbed and pre-wired – for quick and easy installation • Batch cleaning tank - for special chemical additions • Solution heater - maximizes the effectiveness of most cleaning solutions • High flow recirculation pump - improves cleaning through increased fluid velocity against the membrane surface
