🚰 IX Hydraulics (Pressure Drop psi/ft Bed Depth, 50%-75% Backwash Bed Expansion)

IX Resin Hydraulics & Backwash Expansion Calculator

Model hydraulic headloss and fluidization bed expansion for spherical bead ion exchange resins under AWWA guidelines: calculate clean bed pressure drop per foot of resin depth, calculate backwash water upflow rate (GPM/Sq Ft) required to achieve 50% to 75% bed expansion releasing trapped suspended fines, and water plant contracting yields.
