How do buyers select Purolite PFA400 or PFC100 for an industrial system?
Select the resin by its treatment-stage function, not by product name alone. PFA400 is used where the demineralization train needs anion exchange, while PFC100 serves softening or the cation stage. The Purolite product sheets available here are dated 18 March 2025; confirm the current datasheet and design projection before finalizing resin volume or regeneration conditions.
| System need | Relevant resin | Information to confirm before a quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Demineralization with an anion stage | Purolite™ Purofine™ PFA400 | Feed-water anion analysis, water-quality target, column configuration, and regenerant |
| Process-water or boiler-feed softening | Purolite™ Purofine™ PFC100 | Feed-water hardness, flow rate, vessel size, and regeneration pattern |
| Multi-stage demineralization train | PFA400 and/or PFC100 as designed | Resin sequence, conductivity target, backwash requirement, and operating history |
For pretreatment, select filtration media according to the feed-water condition. A resin system may also need automatic control valves and FRP tanks as part of the design. Review the PFA400 datasheet and PFC100 datasheet for the product characteristics used in the technical discussion.
