Organics Removal with Anion Exchange

by TJ Stroebl
Tonka Equipment Company


The Village of Ohio, Illinois recently commissioned their new water treatment plant to remove iron, manganese, arsenic, and color from the groundwater supply, by installing an integrated Tonka treatment system.  A Dualator® VI, which incorporates aeration, detention and filtration, is used to remove the iron, manganese and arsenic. The unit is 11 feet in diameter and is designed to operate at 275 gpm. A Tonka ORGANIX™ anion exchange system was installed downstream of the Dualator® to remove dissolved organic compounds associated with color.
