I just got a call from an engineer at another office of ours. He's recruiting me to help him with a water treatment project. There is a community well that serves about 50 residences. The well water has issued with hardness and nitrate.
They are proposing to put in a dual IX system for removing both the cations (hardness) and anions (nitrate). A water treatment company is developing the IX system. We will be responsible for siting the IX package, the piping in and out of it, and a disposal field for the backwash water.
Has anyone had an experience with IX systems? I know the concepts from college but haven't done much water treatment on the job so this is pretty new to me. Anything special I should know about? Any particular challenges regarding disposal of the backwash water? Fortunately I don't have to worry about the design or O&M of the actual unit.
