Ion Exchange Calculation — Process Excel Sheet

Description

Ion Exchange Calculation — method, inputs and reported results

This 3D-LABS workbook performs the ion exchange calculation as a traceable, line-by-line calculation in the process and chemical discipline. Every intermediate quantity is reported rather than only the final answer, so the sheet can be checked against the governing clause without re-deriving it.

Inputs you enter

• Feed water flow
• Total hardness (as CaCO3)
• Service interval target
• Resin operating capacity (strong cation)
• Min bed depth
• Service velocity max

Results the sheet reports

• Hardness throughput per cycle
• Required resin volume
• Vessel area (linear vel)
• Vessel dia
• Resin bed depth
• Depth check ≥ min
• Vessel total height (+ free board)
• B. vessel size

The workbook carries 6 live inputs and reports 11 calculated results. Formulas are left visible so each figure can be traced to its source.

What you receive

• One editable Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) workbook
• Calculation sheet with inputs, intermediate steps and results
• Reference sheet with the constants and factors used
• Unlocked formulas you can audit, extend or adapt to your own project

Supplied for use by a competent engineer. Results should be reviewed against the governing code and project-specific requirements before being used in design.

What Ion Exchange Calculation — Process Excel Sheet calculates

Ion Exchange Calculation — Process Excel Sheet is an Excel-native engineering calculation tool built by 3D-LABS for chemical, process, and plant engineers working on separation, reaction, heat-transfer, and fluid-flow calculations. It is used for sizing distillation columns, reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, and pressure-relief devices. Every input is labelled and every output is traceable — the sheet is designed to be checkable, not a black box.

Codes and standards followed

Ion Exchange Calculation — Process Excel Sheet follows industry-standard Chemical & Process Engineering codes including ASME B31.3, API 520/521 relief sizing, TEMA, HEI, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook methods. Each formula is cross-referenced to the applicable code clause so your reviewer can trace calculations back to the standard.

If your project requires a different code base (e.g. converting an IS-code sheet to an ASME basis), we can produce a code-variant edition on request. Contact info@3d-labs.com for a variant quote.

What is included in your download

• The Excel calculation file (.xlsx) — fully unlocked formulas, cell-level comments, and a clear input/output layout.
• A sample worked example — realistic inputs plus expected outputs so you can validate the spreadsheet against a known case.
• User notes (PDF) — assumptions, code clauses referenced, and edge-case guidance.
• Revision history — every update to the spreadsheet is logged so you know what changed and when.
• Email support — reply within 24 hours (Monday to Saturday, IST) for questions about the spreadsheet or its use.
