The Decabonator removes carbon dioxide produced by the cation exchange process.

The benefits of reducing the carbon dioxide level in feed water minimize the potential of carbonate precipitation of  mineral salts. Carbon Dioxide removal also reduces the ionic load on ion exchange processes commonly found in  water treatment systems.

The process involves feeding water into the top of a packed tower at atmospheric pressure while air is forced up from  the bottom of the packed tower in a counter-current flow design. The air becomes saturated with CO2 from contacting the water and is removed at the top of the tower.
