Howto evaluate capacity of antracity and zeolite Filters on hot lime

Howto evaluate capacity of antracity and zeolite Filters on hot lime

Howto evaluate capacity of antracity and zeolite Filters on hot lime

(OP)
I am visiting an old plant with no enginnering records . This plant has a hot lime softening process with several Hot lime softeners and several units of  antracity and Zeolite filter.
I hope Somebody please tell how to evaluate the operating flow capacity,
For the softening vessels I had sometime ago a Thumb figure based on retention time.
For the Filters and Zeolite filters I had some time ago some data as GPM/SF surface of filter area.
Is there any engineering design book where I can find how to evaluate more precisly the capacity

RE: Howto evaluate capacity of antracity and zeolite Filters on hot lime

I came across a page yesterday that may have some info.  www.gsaresources.com/water.htm
There's a button there for cation-exchange.  It can give a relative adsorption capacity for different zeolites for various metals.
