Nuclear-grade resins and contaminant-selective media.
SEA-IX™ ion exchange media deliver field-proven, globally recognized performance across two series: the Nuclear-Grade Resins of the Core Series for broad demineralization, and the Contaminant-Selective Series for targeted removal of boron and heavy metals. All backed by long-term supply capacity and U.S.-based inventory.
Engineered to the highest purity and performance standards, SEA-IX™ is organized by what each product does. The Nuclear-Grade Resins of the Core Series cover strong acid cation, strong base anion, and mixed bed demineralization for nuclear plant water chemistry, extending equally to coal-fired and gas-fired utilities, industrial boiler feedwater, and municipal water treatment. The Contaminant-Selective Series is named for the contaminant each product removes: boron and dissolved heavy metals.
Applications: Nuclear Power Plants · Municipal Water Treatment · Coal & Gas Utilities · Industrial Boiler Feedwater · Condensate Polishing · Boron & Heavy Metal Removal
The nuclear-grade Core Series: eight cation, anion, and mixed bed resins engineered for make-up systems, condensate polishing, and primary circuit applications.
Condensate polishing, make-up demineralization
Primary circuit cleanup, radionuclide removal
Make-up system, high-purity water production
Condensate polishing, organic removal
Final polishing, ultrapure-water
The name states what each product removes. This series spans both formats: a boron-selective resin and a zeolite-based heavy metals media, each engineered around a single target contaminant and backed by lab-validated performance data from Birchtech’s rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT) Design Centers.
Boron removal for municipal and industrial water treatment, mining wastewater, and ultrapure process water
Birchtech’s nuclear-grade Core Series resins are manufactured under stringent quality controls, delivering the performance characteristics demanded by nuclear power operations and high-purity water treatment.
Maintains ultrapure water quality with minimized total organic carbon and trace metal ion leakage, reducing contamination risk and protecting downstream processes.
Uniform coefficients between 1.1–1.2 deliver narrow bead size distribution that enhances hydraulic performance, mass transfer, and predictable regeneration behavior.
Built for durability and long service life in the harshest operating environments, including high temperatures, radiation exposure, and continuous operation cycles.
Uniform resin beads reduce cycle-to-cycle variability, stabilizing ionic removal performance and improving process control over extended operational periods.
Long-term supply capacity with inventory maintained in U.S. warehouses. Various product sizes and packaging options, from bags to drums and totes, available to support industry needs.
Low resin crush rates and high whole-bead integrity extend service life across long operating campaigns, reducing resin replacement frequency and unplanned outages.
Ion exchange resin and specialty media markets have faced chronic supply constraints from incumbent suppliers. Across the SEA-IX™ family, Birchtech’s competitive product line offers immediate availability, backed by globally recognized, field-proven quality.
