Many water treatment utilities are investigating alternatives for complying with
increasingly strict regulations pertaining to enhanced coagulation, disinfection
byproducts, and filtered water turbidity. A key factor for meeting new goals for control
of disinfection byproducts at many utilities is the removal of naturally occurring organic
matter (NOM). One emerging alternative for meeting these regulations is the Magnetic
Ion Exchange (MIEX®) process. The MIEX® process, using a strong base anionic resin,
has been shown to enable the reduction of naturally occurring organic matter (NOM)
concentrations and disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation. Additional benefits of this
process include reductions in the required amount of coagulant and a capability for
removing inorganic anions to meet treatment goals in other areas of water quality. The paper discusses the process of applying the magnetized anion exchange resin in a mixed tank where the ion exchange occurs, lists the four participating test locations that provided the desired range of conditions, and discusses results.
