Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'exploiter une installation d'adoucissement d'eau à échange d'ions avec une unité de régénération, par mesure in situ de la dureté résiduelle de l'eau au moyen d'une unité de détection ionosensible. Selon l'invention, on dérive un courant partiel de l'eau de traitement, qui présente un taux de fuite minimisé. Ce courant partiel parvient sur une unité de détection par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de soupapes pilotable. On détermine ensuite les variables de référence pour le courant partiel sur la base d'un signal de traitement prédéfini par l'unité de commande pour l'installation à échange d'ions. Ces variables de référence sont ensuite guidées sur l'unité de soupapes, de manière que le courant partiel s'ajuste simultanément par rapport à l'écoulement de l'eau de traitement. L'unité de détection ionosensible sert à surveiller en continu les rapports de concentration dans le courant partiel. Lorsqu'une valeur limite est atteinte ou dépassée, le processus de régénération de l'installation à échange d'ions est lancé. En dehors de périodes de prélèvement de l'eau de traitement, le courant partiel est interrompu et du liquide d'étalonnage est acheminé par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de soupapes jusqu'à l'unité de détection, à des fins de jaugeage et de contrôle.
