This two-day technical training course entitled 'Introduction to Ion Exchange for Industrial Water Treatment: Plant specification, operation and troubleshotting' ran simultaneously with an advanced version of the course. It focused on providing a good basic understanding of plant specification, including the effect of raw water quality, pretreatment requirements, process selection and relating this to end user treated water quality. Further presentations also covered how resins are manufactured, the different generic resin types and how they are used. The final sessions covered plant operation, monitoring and control, and troubleshooting easy ion exchange problems.
