Ion-exchanger-design software with new functions
In March, this company released a new version of its LewaPlus design software with a significantly expanded range of functions. The calculation tool, which enables the dimensioning of ion-exchange systems (including individual process configurations) has been updated with improvements and additions in the modules for mixed-bed calculation, condensate polishing and the design of polishing stages in food-and-beverage production. The software also enables users to check the efficiency of existing systems and identify potential savings in operating costs. The new functionalities in the water-treatment application area, for example, include a module for designing mixed-bed systems with ready-to-use mixed-bed (MB) resins. The module makes it possible to design the filter hydraulics and allows a good estimate of the expected cycle time. — Lanxess AG, Cologne, Germany
