Resin traps
A resin trap is a safety device used on the overflow lines of ion exchange units, high-purity water systems and activated carbon and media filters.
In many systems, a valve failure can allow media to escape from the treatment vessel. Not only is the loss of expensive media significant, but damage can easily occur to downstream pumping equipment.
Resin traps, placed inline, provide positive protection. The traps can be designed to capture media particles of any size.
Benefits
Prevents expensive resin/media loss into piping distribution system
Protects downstream pumping equipment
Visibility of minor resin/media losses in prevention of major equipment failure
Features
Continuous slot design, allowing traps to capture media particles of any size, providing sufficient open area to let process flow move smoothly
Stainless steel construction (other alloys can be used depending on pressure and temperature)
Various options for sizes, shapes and connections, depending on process flow characteristics
Designed for full system pressure
