DM Plant Troubleshooting & Maintenance

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of troubleshooting and preventive maintenance practices for De Mineralization (DM) plants. Participants learn the operating principles and functions of major DM plant components, including cation exchangers, anion exchangers, mixed-bed units, degassers, and regeneration systems. The course focuses on identifying common operational problems and diagnosing their root causes effectively. It covers water-quality monitoring, resin performance, pressure drop, flow rates, conductivity, pH, and chemical consumption. Participants learn systematic troubleshooting techniques for poor water quality, resin fouling, channeling, leakage, and regeneration failures. Preventive maintenance strategies are introduced to improve equipment reliability and minimize unexpected plant shutdowns. The course also addresses chemical handling, regeneration procedures, valve operation, instrumentation, and control systems. Practical approaches for inspecting, cleaning, servicing, and maintaining DM plant equipment are discussed. Emphasis is placed on optimizing plant performance, reducing operating costs, and extending equipment and resin life. By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to operate, troubleshoot, and maintain DM plants safely and efficiently.
