Backwash Characteristics
After each cycle the resin bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 50 to 75 percent. This will remove any foreign matter and reclassify the bed. Fig. 2 shows the expansion characteristics of Aldex SB-1P OH SC in the chloride form.

Applications
Demineralizations
Aldex SB-1P OH SC is widely used in multiple and mixed bed demineralizers, wherever complete ion and organic removal are required. The porosity of Aldex SB-1P OH SC provides the capability of reversibly sorbing naturally occurring organic substances that tend to foul anion resins.
Type 1 anion exchanges have greater thermal and oxidation resistance than other types of stong base resins and can be operated at higher temperature to insure low silica leakages. The combination of porosity and functionality make SB-1P OH SC the resin of choice where the water temperature is in excess of 85°F or where the combination of carbon dioxide plus silica exceed 40% of the total anions.
The low density of Aldex SB-1P OH SC provides maximum separation during the regeneration cycle of mixed bed demineralizers. This results in longer service runs and higher quality effluents.
Desilicizers
In certain applications, water supplied with low dissolved solids need only be treated for hardness and silica removal. Aldex C-800 operating in the sodium cycle followed by Aldex SP-1P OH SC operated in the hydroxide cycle is a very effective way of providing low silica, and low hardness water for medium pressure boilers.
