What is the difference between a resin trap and an underdrain nozzle?

Wiki Article

Wedge wire resin traps and underdrain nozzles play complementary roles in ion exchange system protection. Underdrain nozzles are installed inside the vessel to support the resin bed and ensure even flow distribution, while wedge wire resin traps are located downstream to capture resin beads that escape due to abnormal conditions or internal failure. Combining both components provides layered protection that improves system reliability and reduces operational risk.
