LANXESS builds solid foundations

Practice-oriented lectures for ion exchanger professionals

The ion exchanger conference IEX 2008 is being held in Cambridge, England from July 9 to 11. In the run-up to the conference, experts from LANXESS will be giving an insight into how ion exchangers for industrial water treatment work. Leverkusen-based applications technician Björn Dinges from the Ion Exchange Resins business unit (BU ION) and his Belgian colleague Jean Moriau, a member of the IEX committee, will be giving presentations on water treatment using ion exchanger systems as part of a practice-based seminar on July 8. They will discuss the use of innovative products from the Lewatit range from LANXESS and new aspects of plant dimensioning – creating benefits for the end customer in terms of both cost-effectiveness and environmental protection. “As developers of high-performance, efficient ion exchange resins, and as the source of innovative application concepts for opening up new dimensions in performance, we can make a significant contribution by supporting the industry with our know-how and advice,” explains Michael Zobel, head of BU ION.

At IEX 2008, LANXESS, one of the leading manufacturers of ion exchangers, will be presenting its premium products for industrial water treatment from the Lewatit range. They play a key role in the treatment of drinking water, the production of ultra-pure water and in applications in the power plant sector, for example. Detailed information is _here available.

IEX 2008 is organized by the SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) and will be held at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge, England. The program is aimed at researchers, plant managers, chemists and engineers, as well as technical and commercial managers in the industrial water treatment sector. Presentations will be given by representatives of both industry and academia and will focus on topics such as plant design and technology, the reprocessing of used ion exchangers, unit management and monitoring, troubleshooting and tackling problems in cation, anion and mixed bed systems. Detailed information about both the conference and the practice-based seminar from July 6 to 8 is available at _www.soci.org/Events.
