Off-site Resin Regeneration
Regeneration solutions for a full range of ion exchange media including metal bearing resins. Certified clean resins are returned to you and waste is disposed of according to EPA standards.
Extend Your Resin Life. Reduce Your Costs.
Proper regeneration can extend ion exchange resin life for years at a fraction of the cost of replacement media. But getting it right requires specialized equipment, expertise, and strict quality control—especially when dealing with hazardous contaminants.
That's where we come in. ResinTech's regeneration specialists remove collected contaminants, restore exhausted resin to its proper ionic form, and return it to service—saving you money while ensuring regulatory compliance.

We combine system engineering with technical expertise to extend the life of your water and water treatment resources.
What We Regenerate
We handle ion exchange resins from all water treatment applications, including:
Electroplating wastewater treatment
Industrial metals removal and recovery
Industrial metals removal and recovery
Deionization and softening
EDM (electro-discharge machining)
Pollution control
Product purification
General water treatment
Hazardous vs. Non-Hazardous Resins
Depending on the environment in which they are used and the type and concentration of contaminants present, exhausted resins may be considered hazardous and be subject to specific handling during regeneration.
Resins used during wastewater treatment in electroplating operations are classified as Hazardous Waste (F006) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) according to the Resource Conservational and Recovery Act (RCRA). By definition, this is called "categorically" hazardous resin and processing of this resin follow strict procedures associated with the handling of hazardous waste.
Whether your resin is hazardous or non-hazardous depends on what it's removed from your water. Speak with our experts to
determine if your resin is hazardous. We handle both:

Categorically Hazardous (F006)
The federal EPA has identified certain industries where resins from electroplating wastewater operations are automatically classified as hazardous waste under EPA regulations.
Characteristically Hazardous
Resins that have collected toxic levels of heavy metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, or silver) may be hazardous even if they're not from electroplating. Resins containing those metals that fail a TCLP test are considered hazardous.
Non-Hazardous
All other ion exchange resins.
We'll test your resin against EPA and local standards to determine proper classification and guide you through transportation requirements.
Our Process
We operate separate regeneration lines to prevent cross-contamination. Every regenerated lot is quality tested to ensure you get maximum capacity and performance when returned to service.
Our Maryland facility handles everything—intake, testing, and regeneration. Clean, regenerated resins are returned to you ready for service. All byproducts from the regeneration process are 100% recycled.
