» demineralization of water for industrial steam generation operated with co-current or modern counter-current systems like e.g. Lewatit WS System, Lewatit Liftbed System or Lewatit Rinse bed System

» polishing using the Lewatit Multistep System or a conventional mixed bed arrangement

» high flow rates during regeneration and loading

» a high operating capacity at low regenerant consumption

» a low demand for rinse water

» a homogeneous throughput of regenerants, water and solutions, resulting in a homogeneous operating zone

» a virtually linear pressure drop gradient across the entire bed depth, allowing operation with higher bed depths

» a low TOC emission and high resistance to oxidative stress

» good separation of the components in mixed bed applications
