Recrystallized NaCl Tablets
Salt tablets play a vital role in industrial water treatment systems, particularly in water softening and ion‑exchange processes. From a chemical engineering perspective, their function is to ensure efficient, stable, and repeatable resin regeneration, which is essential for protecting downstream equipment.
🔬 How Salt Tablets Work
In ion‑exchange water softeners, hardness ions such as calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) are exchanged with sodium ions (Na⁺) on the resin surface. As the resin becomes saturated, its performance declines.
Salt tablets dissolve gradually in the brine tank, producing a high‑purity sodium chloride solution that regenerates the resin by replacing hardness ions with sodium ions. This restores the resin’s full softening capacity.
⚙️ Why Tablet Form Matters
Compared to loose salt, salt tablets offer:
- Controlled and uniform dissolution
- Stable brine concentration
- Low insoluble content
- Reduced risk of bridging and system blockage
These characteristics lead to consistent regeneration cycles and predictable system performance.
🏭 Key Industrial Applications
- Boiler feed water treatment – prevents scale and improves thermal efficiency
- Cooling towers & HVAC systems – minimizes fouling and heat transfer loss
- RO pretreatment – protects membranes from hardness scaling
🌍 Designed for Oman & MENA Conditions
Hakim Salt Tablets are engineered to perform reliably in the high‑temperature, high‑salinity water conditions common in Oman, Muscat, Sohar, and the wider MENA region, making them ideal for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
