System and method for regenerating and restoring kinetic properties of resin

A cleaning system configured to clean and regenerate kinetic and ion exchange properties of resin, comprising:

• a vessel comprising a bottom, at least one solution inlet, at least one waste outlet, at least one resin inlet, and at least one resin outlet;
• a draw chamber disposed inside the bottom of the vessel, the draw chamber comprising a separation screen;
• at least one eductor;
• a plenum in fluid communication with the at least one eductor, discharging at a top of the vessel;
• a fouled or exhausted resin comprising at least one resin, each resin of the at least one resin being one of cationic and anionic in nature;
• a first resin regeneration chemical flowing through the at least one eductor into the vessel, wherein the first resin regeneration chemical is a chemical regeneration solution for one of cation resins and anion resins;
• a sulfite solution circulating through the at least one eductor into the vessel along with the fouled or exhausted resin, the sulfite solution performing a reducing reaction;
• and a scrubber module comprising at least three helical pathways configured to convey the resin with a velocity, each helical pathway comprising a conduit rotating about and propagating along an axis with a pitch, wherein the at least three helical pathways are coupled in series such that the bottom of the vessel is in fluid communication with the top of the vessel through all of the helical pathways, wherein each helical pathway is in fluid communication with a subsequent helical pathway;
• wherein the three helical pathways together comprise a pathway inlet in fluid communication with the bottom of the vessel through the eductor and a pathway outlet in fluid communication with the top of the vessel;
• wherein said at least one eductor are configured to recirculate resin throughout the vessel as the separation screen and the sulfite solution work together to remove at least one of organics, iron oxides, waste, and debris from the resin.
