The Dowex Mara design system

The Dowex Marathon ion exchange resins, in combination with optimized system design, can offer up to 10% greater productivity from raw water. It combines the capabilities of Dow’s Marathon and Amberjet technologies.  Its enhanced capacity and ideal balance of properties allow operators to experience maximum usable capacity of the resin with minimal use of chemicals and rinse water.

The Dowex Marathon family of products includes a comprehensive suite of strong and weak acid cation exchange resins, and strong and weak base anion exchange resins for use in both packed bed and layered bed systems.  Different combinations will result in various levels of efficiencies.  The line-up allows operators to use the best combination of resins with their vessel type to achieve extremely low unit cost of demineralized water, high regenerability, and reduced waste volume.
