Observations:
1. Indion 860 resin got turned to darken during service cycle and this color may Eluted at
time of regeneration.
2. Sweetening OFF qualitative product got by com pressure air.
3. Resin bed cleaning with hot DM Water for an hour
4. Sweetening ON solution of approx 30 Brix of 2BV was disposed.
