Radium Removal Resin Process Meets EPA Standards

Available From Hungerford & Terry, Inc. at ACE '07 Booth #2900

Clayton, NJ - Hungerford & Terry, Inc. has been selected to distribute and supply the Dow RSC resin for removal of radium from municipal drinking water supplies.

Information on this resin process technology is available at the Hungerford & Terry ACE Booth #2900 at the 2007 AWWA Annual Conference and Exposition being held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The United States EPA radium content limits for drinking water, effective January 2003, seek to achieve zero radium in all U.S. municipal drinking water supplies as an immediate and necessary goal. H&T's resin process facilitates meeting the requirements.

Hungerford & Terry's RSC resin for radium removal delivers significant benefits versus ordinary water softener resins, including: eliminating the regeneration that produces radioactive brine, thus reducing labor and material costs in the radium removal. With the RSC resin process, there is no regeneration step or any waste regenerant. This is an added cost saving that offers a substantial reduction in the volume of resin required in radium removal compared with using standard softening resins.
