Efficient Carbon And Ion Exchange Media Exchange

Water and wastewater treatment systems rely on the timely exchange of filtration media to maintain efficiency and treatment compliance. This document outlines the essential steps required to exchange spent media, including disposal of spent media.
Filtration media removes contaminants via adsorption or ion exchange mechanisms, depending on the media used. Once treatment media runs out of adsorption or ion exchange sites, contaminants are no longer removed and begin to breakthrough to the effluent. An effective media exchange program ensures that every pound of media is used prior to being exchanged while preventing breakthrough above compliance or performance targets.
