Key Advantages
Shallow Shell Technology
• Requires 15% less regenerant
Purolite’s Shallow Shell technology — or SST® — is designed to
chemicals to achieve equal
improve softening and demineralization performance. Our R&D and

manufacturing teams perfected an advanced resin bead structure
performance
to increase regeneration efficiency, reduce leakage and fouling, and
conserve rinse and dilution water so that systems run better, with • Provides up to 50% savings
less expense and enhanced performance. in rinse and dilution water

• Reduces leakage by over 20%

How it is Different at same regenerant dosage as
For all resin beads to work, they need to be activated. Our exclusive traditional resin
process leaves the center of each SST bead inactive. This
• Suitable for co-flow, counter-
eliminates the sites that take the longest to exchange, are the most
flow and packed bed systems
difficult to regenerate, and are the most susceptible to fouling.
• Supports ISO 14001:2004
Why it is Better initiatives toward
environmental management
SST resins deliver better throughput with reduced chemical
and impact; uses less
regenerant usage and minimal leakage. Each bead features a
chemical regenerant and
uniform depth of functionality, so all beads react at the same rate
generates less waste
for consistent performance. The Shallow Shell Technology
structure shortens the diffusion path and creates more rapid ion
exchange. The beads also resist osmotic shock, which extends the
life of the resin.
