When the Village of Plover, Wisconsin, set out to develop additional water supplies,
extensive previous studies established that treatment for nitrate removal would be
required to comply with drinking water regulations because of widespread aquifer
contamination. As part of the planning process, alternative nitrate removal technologies
were examined, and anion exchange was selected for the permanent plant. The Village
had previously installed an ISEP continuous regeneration anion exchange system, but
after a thorough examination of capital and operating issues, selected a more
conventional fixed bed process for the new facility. This provides a unique opportunity
for side-by-side comparisons of the alternative ion exchange technologies (IE) in terms of
technical issues and requirements, performance, operation, and maintenance. This paper
presents the critical aspects of the decision-making process, and experience information
that will be extremely useful for other communities who may be faced with similar
treatment challenges. Includes tables, figures.
