Product Description
AmberLite™ IRN160 H/OH is a nuclear-grade, uniform particle size mixed bed ion exchange resin specifically designed for water treatment applications in the nuclear power industry. It is a stoichiometric 1:1 equivalent mixture of AmberLite™ IRN97 H (cation) and AmberLite™ IRN78 OH (anion) resins, optimized to minimize separation during installation and transfer due to the smaller cation resin particle size. This resin ensures highest purity and stability, reducing ionic and non-ionic contamination, enabling reliable and safe production while minimizing equipment maintenance and unscheduled outages.
- Minimal separation during installation/transfer
- Faster kinetics and higher exchange capacity
- Excellent chemical stability and resistance to bead fracture
- Reduced radioactive waste generation
- Primary water treatment: Primary coolant blowdown, pre-outage cleanup
- Fuel pool purification
- Rad waste treatment and decontamination: Removal of radioactive cations (e.g., 137Cs137Cs, cobalt isotopes), anionic radioactive material, and silver
- PWR steam generation blowdown (APG)
- BWR condensate polishing
