ISEP

For more than 20 years, Calgon Carbon has been a global leader in continuous ion exchange technology, thanks in large part to the success and advanced performance of its Ion Separator (ISEP®)and Chromatographic Separator technology. Our continuous ISEP®/CSEP® technology is reliable, versatile, and cost effective compared to alternative technologies and fixed bed systems.

As a pioneer in the development of continuous ion exchange systems, Calgon Carbon backs its equipment with decades of expertise in system design, installation and process optimization, and continually invests in improving the technology.

Markets/Applications Addressed:

Municipal Water Treatment

Calgon Carbon’s ISEP® systems are frequently used to remove harmful inorganics, such as nitrates and perchlorates, from drinking water. The continuous ISEP® system requires lower capital and annual operating costs, has greater reliability, uses less energy, has higher water recoveries and produces a more concentrated waste brine compared to reverse osmosis and traditional fixed bed systems.

Features & Benefits:

With over 650 installations in more than 40 applications, Calgon Carbon’s ISEP®/CSEP® technology continues to prove itself capable of economically solving complex processing problems. The counter-current flow of the continuous ISEP®/CSEP® system allows for a substantial reduction in media inventory, less chemical regeneration and water waste, and higher recoveries. The multi-port distributor is configurable for any number of processes from ion exchange, chromatography, adsorption to even media cycle testing. The ISEP®-IOVSB is Calgon Carbon’s latest offering in rotary distributors. The improved design maintains the advantages of the continuous ISEP®/CSEP® system, but precludes the need for a turntable allowing for greater flexibility, a smaller footprint and overall capital cost, and less maintenance and spare parts.
