Reason Root Cause
1. Na leak from Cation Cation resin degrade
Cation resin volume not enough
improper Regeneration
Fe fouling on Cation resin
ion (H+) less improper Regeneration
Fe fouling (see item 2)
??? ???
Cl(-) leak There is ANION resin in CATION Tank
Too high Cl in raw water
1. Na leak from Cation see item1
Efficiency drop water from Cation pH > 4.3
Mechanical part malfunction

Anion resin volume not enough
improper Regeneration
Organic fouling on Anion resin
Cl(-) leak from CATION
CO32- leak from Degas
there is (Na+CO3) see item 1,3,6
There is (Na+OH) Na leak from ANION - There is CATION resin in ANION Tank

1. In case SiO2 not leak, Conductivity of Anion will increase
5 us/cm from Na leak 0.5 mg/l.
2. In Case SiO2 leak, Conductivity drops a little at the time
of silica breakthrough then conductivity will increase again.

Effect Inspection Prevention Correction
1. Efficiency Degas will drop, still have CO 32- in
water
2. Anion load increase to capture CO 32-

2.2 In Case SiO2 leak, Conductivity drops a
little at the time of silica breakthrough then
conductivity will increase again.
