The magnetic ion exchange (MIEX®) resin is a valuable
technology to assist in controlling disinfection byproducts
and reducing chemical requirements (e.g.,
coagulants, oxidants, and disinfectants) in downstream
treatment processes. The MIEX process has been in use
since 2002, and many utilities and consulting engineers
have tested the resin on a site-specific basis. The work
described in this paper compared results from batch-, pilot-, and
full-scale tests to create a composite picture of MIEX
process performance.
The authors found that effective removal of dissolved
organic carbon (DOC) can be achieved at resin
doses of 0.5-1.0 mL of resin per liter of water treated
or bed volume rates on the order of 1,000 L of water
treated per liter of resin regenerated. In addition, their
comparison of DOC removal results in batch and continuous-
flow studies using the same water showed that
batch test results can be used effectively to scaleup to
full-scale performance. Includes 19 references, tables, figures.
