The treatment system consists of a WAC, SAC which is followed by a WBA and SBA. Calculate the amount of WBA resin required for the following data. M Alkalinity: 100 ppm as CaCO3 P Alkalinity: 100 ppm as CaCO3 EMA: 25 ppm as CaCO3 Capacity: 37 Kg/m3 Correction factor: 0.9 Flow rate: 135 m3/hr Operation hours: 20 hrs

Correct Answer: 1.2 m3
The SAC removes around 60% of the EMA. WBA removes only EMA. Ionic load= 0.4 x EMA as CaCO3 x Flow rate x Operating hours/1000. Resin Volume= Anion load/ (Exchange capacity x Correction factor). Resin Volume = /(37 x 0.9)= 1.2 m3.
