REKON SELECTIVE ION EXCHANGE / DE-CAT SYSTEM

COMPLETE WITH PRE-FILTRATION

Carousel Design: A three-column pair configuration with two selective resin columns (worker and polisher) in use at any time for 24/7 uptime and optimal metal contaminant removal
Ensure compliance when heavy metal discharge limits are stringent
Reduce metal contamination concentrations to 0.05 mg/l (or lower)
The REKON Selective Ion Exchange De-Cat design places a freshly regenerated column in the polishing position following the partially loaded worker column
Ensures the highest level of polishing while maximizing resin capacity.

REKON ION EXCHANGE

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER RECYCLING AND RINSE WATER RECOVERY

For 40 years, Kontek has been the leading manufacturer of fully automated, self-regenerating Ion Exchange recovery systems. REKON Systems have proven worldwide to be the most reliable and cost-effective method for removing dissolved heavy metals and salts from wastewater. The REKON Ion Exchange System produces high-quality de-ionized water for recycling back to process rinse tanks, enhancing rinsing quality.

Kontek's customers use REKON technology for a wide variety of applications, including Raw Water Purification, Softening & Deionization, Wastewater Treatment, Wastewater Recovery & Recycling, Polishing & Targeted Ion Recovery

100% Recovery of process rinse water
Ion Exchange technology removes all heavy metals and salts to produce purified deionized water for re-use
Onboard resin cleaning systems ensure the longest resin life in the industry

HIGH PURITY RECOVERY

DEIONIZATION SYSTEM DESIGN

A dual train configuration with one cation and one anion resin column per train for 24/7 uptime
Supplied with pre-treatment components such as GAC columns and particulate filtration
Two chemical dosing systems are included to allow for in-plant regeneration of the resins
Fully adjustable chemical concentrations and volumes or dilution or rinse water flow rates are easily changed by simply inputting new values on the HMI, without the need for mechanical modifications
Deionized water is stored in a tank and is distributed to points of use using a pump with a constant pressure output, with a portion of the discharge recirculating through a UV system and back to the DI storage tank

SELECTIVE ION EXCHANGE / DE-CAT DESIGN

A three-column pair configuration with two selective resin columns in use at any time for 24/7 uptime.
Resin columns are operated in series to improve efficiency and easy ion loading of the resin.
Columns function on a lead/lag basis that places the freshly regenerated column in the “lag” position following the partially loaded “lead” column.
This ensures complete exhaustion of the lead column while continuing to remove any leaked metal salts in the lag column.
Each system is supplied with pre-treatment components such as GAC columns and particulate filtration.
Two chemical dosing systems are included to allow for in-plant regeneration of the resins.

CYCLIC – IX RO WATER SOFTENING

This technology utilizes the wase brine solution from the Reverse Osmosis (RO) to regenerate the water softening resin
Only applicable for RO systems that utilize IX resins to soften the RO feed water

REKON SELECTIVE ION EXCHANGE

DeCat Systems: Ensure compliance when heavy metal discharge levels are stringent and provide selective polishing of targeted metal ions in treated effluent.
Kontek REKON De-Cat systems reduce metal contamination concentrations to 0.05 mg/l or lower in most cases. Systems operate in a 3-column carousel configuration with a worker and polisher in use at all times
The REKON De-Cat design places the freshly regenerated column in the polishing position following the partially loaded worker column. This ensures the highest level of polishing possible while maximizing the utilization of the resins' capacities.
